Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who appreciate a characterful, low-volume Italian V-twin with unusual engineering like shaft drive and air cooling.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique sport-touring twin, it favors flowing corner work and spirited road riding over outright track lap times or long-haul comfort.
Rider FitA moderate 220 kg weight and 790 mm seat height make it manageable for most riders, though the sporty ergonomics reward a fit, engaged riding style.
CharacterThe Supertwin blends torquey air-cooled V2 grunt with shaft-drive smoothness, giving it a distinctive, mechanical, old-school sporting personality rare in modern bikes.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders seeking modern electronics, off-road capability, or a plush two-up touring experience.

2001 Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100, 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.
