Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a fierce naked bike best suited to experienced riders who can manage a high power-to-weight ratio and aggressive throttle response.
PurposeBuilt for exhilarating acceleration, sharp cornering, and aggressive street or trackday riding rather than relaxed cruising.
Rider FitThe tall 830mm seat height, firm suspension, and forward-leaning naked-bike stance demand a fit, reasonably tall rider comfortable with a committed riding position.
CharacterA raw, muscular Italian superbike-engined streetfighter with a distinctive exhaust note and razor-sharp handling that rewards confident, assertive riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for beginners, riders seeking plush comfort, or those planning long-distance touring or off-road use.

2012 MV Agusta Brutale RR 1090 America Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2012 MV Agusta Brutale RR 1090 America, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
