Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding two-stroke V4 race replica best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a narrow power band, kick starting, and sharp, peaky delivery.
Purpose	Built as a lightweight, high-revving sport bike for spirited backroad riding and track-day thrills rather than practical transportation.
Rider Fit	Expect a committed, forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs and low bars that place significant weight on the wrists and demand decent fitness and flexibility.
Character	A raw, buzzy, and thrilling two-stroke that rewards riders who love revving it out near 10,000rpm and carving corners on its light aluminium chassis.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for riders wanting comfort, passenger space, long-distance touring capability, or a forgiving, low-maintenance ride.

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1986 Suzuki RG 400 Gamma, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
