Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable with a torquey big-bore twin and sport-touring dynamics.
PurposeDesigned for fast, comfortable road touring with enough sporting edge to enjoy twisty roads along the way.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable dry weight for its class make it accessible to most average-height riders without being too demanding physically.
CharacterAn eccentric, low-production sport tourer that blends a punchy V-twin-style parallel twin engine with practical touring features and a distinctive character.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for off-road use, novice riders seeking a light beginner bike, or those wanting cutting-edge modern electronics.

2008 MZ 1000 ST SuperTraveller Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2008 MZ 1000 ST SuperTraveller, 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.
