Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders comfortable with a punchy, torquey V-twin and a tall, top-heavy supermoto stance.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive backroad carving, tight urban attack, and thrilling cornering rather than covering long distances or hauling gear.
Rider FitThe tall 870mm seat height and light 186kg dry weight favor taller or more athletic riders who can flick the bike around confidently.
CharacterA raw, playful hooligan machine that rewards an active riding style with sharp steering and strong midrange punch from its 90hp V90 twin.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking plush long-haul comfort, wind protection, or serious off-road capability.

2008 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2008 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
