Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for experienced riders who want big-bike performance without the complexity of a manual gearbox.
Purpose	Built as a maxi-scooter that blends rapid point-to-point transport with genuine long-distance touring capability.
Rider Fit	The 780mm seat height and 248kg weight demand a confident, physically capable rider, though the low center of gravity helps at a standstill.
Character	A muscular, twin-cylinder maxi-scooter that prioritizes effortless high-speed cruising and strong acceleration over lightweight nimbleness.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for off-road use, novice riders, or anyone wanting a lightweight, easily manageable city runabout.

Units

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 GP 800, 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.
