Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least a season or two of experience who are comfortable with a lively inline-four powerband and a fairly tall, substantial machine.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances in relative comfort while still offering a sporty inline-four engine character for enjoyable road riding.
Rider FitAt around 243 kg wet with an 800 mm seat height, it demands a reasonably confident, average-to-tall rider who won't be intimidated by its heft at low speeds.
CharacterA sport-touring middleweight that blends a revvy, high-RPM four-cylinder engine with upright ergonomics, a windscreen, and saddlebag capacity for real-world versatility.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road adventures, novice riders wary of heavier bikes, or those seeking a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

2015 Benelli BN 600 GT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Benelli BN 600 GT, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
