Best for
Built primarily as a rugged, no-frills dual-sport for trail riding, green-laning, and light adventure use rather than outright speed or highway cruising.
Built for
A simple, durable, air-cooled single with carburetor-fed power delivery that rewards patient, mechanically-sympathetic riders over those chasing outright performance.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders wanting fast highway cruising, plush long-distance comfort, or a passenger-friendly touring companion.

At 885mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2015 Suzuki DR650S, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
