Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an exotic superbike that demands an experienced, skilled rider comfortable with extreme power delivery and razor-sharp handling.
PurposeBuilt purely for high-speed track riding and aggressive sport riding rather than practicality or commuting.
Rider FitExpect a committed, aggressive riding position with high pegs, low bars, and a firm seat that will strain the wrists, back, and legs over long periods.
CharacterAn exclusive, race-bred Italian exotic that blends fierce top-end power with a slipper clutch and trellis chassis for surgical cornering precision.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for new riders, commuters, passengers, or anyone seeking comfort, storage, or long-distance touring capability.

2009 MV Agusta F4 1000 R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 MV Agusta F4 1000 R, 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.
