Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding, high-performance superbike best suited to experienced riders with strong throttle control and track familiarity.
Purpose	Built primarily for track days and aggressive sport riding, with road use as a secondary, less comfortable compromise.
Rider Fit	Expect an aggressive, weight-forward riding position with high footpegs and low bars that will strain wrists, neck, and back on longer rides.
Character	A razor-sharp, high-revving V4 superbike that rewards precise inputs with explosive acceleration and razor-quick cornering response.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or two-up riding.

Units

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

Feet:

At 845mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2012 Aprilia RSV4 R, 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.
