Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience, since the tall seat, light weight, and sharp handling reward confidence but can feel twitchy to newcomers.
PurposeBuilt as a supermoto for flickable, playful riding on twisty roads and urban streets rather than for outright speed or long-distance comfort.
Rider FitThe 900mm seat height and slim, tall stance suit taller riders comfortably, while the light overall weight keeps low-speed maneuvering manageable for most body types.
CharacterA nimble, single-cylinder street hooligan that thrives on quick direction changes, punchy midrange torque, and an eagerness to be thrown into corners.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a plush, wind-protected long-haul tourer or someone seeking high top-end power for sustained highway speeds.

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

Feet:

At 900mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2009 BMW G 650 Xmoto, with a relaxed knee angle of around 150 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.
