Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for riders of any experience level thanks to its automatic CVT transmission and approachable handling.
Purpose	Designed primarily as a maxi-scooter for commuting and comfortable urban-to-highway travel rather than performance riding.
Rider Fit	Low seat height and light, scooter-style ergonomics make it accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	A practical, comfort-oriented maxi-scooter that prioritizes ease of use, weather protection, and storage over outright speed or sportiness.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, off-road capability, or high-speed thrills.

Units

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

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Suzuki Burgman 400, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
