Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with a powerful, torquey V-twin and a tall, top-heavy supermoto stance.
Purpose	Built for aggressive backroad carving and supermoto-style thrills, blending big-bore power with razor-sharp handling.
Rider Fit	The tall 870mm seat height and wide handlebars demand a taller rider or confident inseam, with moderate effort needed at low speeds and stops.
Character	It has a raw, muscular, and slightly unhinged personality, rewarding an assertive throttle hand with explosive acceleration and flickable cornering ability.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right choice for riders seeking a plush, wind-protected long-distance tourer or a beginner-friendly, low-effort commuter.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2012 Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 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.
