Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who already hold a full motorcycle license and have experience with big, heavy maxi-scooters, since the GP800 is fast but substantial to manage at low speed.
PurposeBuilt as a maxi-scooter for effortless high-speed commuting and long-distance touring rather than sport riding or off-road use.
Rider FitAt over 260 kg fuelled, it demands decent physical strength and confidence when maneuvering at a standstill or in tight parking situations.
CharacterA big V2 automatic scooter that blends surprising straight-line performance with plush comfort, appealing to riders who want car-like ease with genuine speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking off-road capability, lightweight agility, or a sporty cornering feel.

2009 Gilera GP800 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Gilera GP800, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
