Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders comfortable with a heavy, low-slung machine that rewards relaxed, deliberate inputs rather than quick reflexes.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and highway touring rather than outright speed or sporty handling.
Rider FitThe low seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders, but the substantial weight demands some upper body strength at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterA classic big-inch V-twin cruiser that delivers a slow-revving, torque-rich feel with a shaft-driven, unhurried character.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2001 Suzuki VS 1400 GLP Intruder Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Suzuki VS 1400 GLP Intruder, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
