Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders from mid-level experience upward, especially those coming from smaller cruisers who want a bigger, more relaxed V-twin.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport riding.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat height and moderate 241kg dry weight make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA smooth, torque-driven shaft-drive V-twin cruiser that favors relaxed, steady riding over aggressive throttle use.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, high-speed touring, or any off-road capability.

2004 Suzuki Volusia 800 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2004 Suzuki Volusia 800, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
