Does the Suzuki GS850G fit you?
The Suzuki GS850G (1979–1980) has a 785 mm seat height. As a rule of thumb, riders with an inseam around 79 cm — roughly 168 cm (5'6") tall — can plant both feet flat at a stop. Around 73 cm inseam you'll be on the balls of your feet, and shorter riders will tiptoe. Enter your own height and inseam in the simulator above to see exactly how you reach the ground on the Suzuki GS850G.
Riding position
As a touring motorcycle, the Suzuki GS850G puts you in an upright, neutral riding position. The simulator scores the exact knee, hip, and elbow angles for your body so you can see how relaxed or aggressive the reach to the bars and pegs will feel.
What is the Suzuki GS850G best for?
The Suzuki GS850G is best suited to long-distance and two-up travel, with a relaxed, weather-protected riding position.
Fit figures are rules of thumb (flat-foot inseam ≈ seat height); the simulator gives your exact reach and joint angles. Braking is an estimate from wet weight and wheelbase on a dry road.
