Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some prior experience who are comfortable with a mid-size V-twin naked's torque delivery and manual carbureted response.
PurposeIt's best suited to spirited street riding and weekend backroad outings rather than dedicated track work or long-distance touring.
Rider FitWith a low-ish seat height and moderate dry weight, it should be manageable for riders of average or shorter stature without feeling too heavy at low speed.
CharacterThe V2 engine layout and naked styling suggest a characterful, torquey ride with an emphasis on feel and engagement over outright top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for riders seeking modern electronics, long-haul touring comfort, or any serious off-road capability.

2008 Italjet Grifon 650 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 762mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Italjet Grifon 650, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
