Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate to experienced riders who appreciate a torquey, characterful V-twin over outright cutting-edge performance.
Purpose	A sport-leaning naked built for spirited road riding, blending shaft-drive touring capability with a muscular big-bore engine.
Rider Fit	A moderately heavy 240kg machine with an 800mm seat height that most average-height riders will find manageable at a stop.
Character	Has the distinctive throb and torque delivery of a transverse 90-degree V-twin, giving it a raw, mechanical personality rather than a rev-happy screamer feel.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for off-road use, novice riders wanting a light and forgiving bike, or anyone seeking razor-sharp modern sportbike agility.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport ABS, 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.
