Rider Profile

Best ForSuits an intermediate to experienced rider who appreciates a torquey, shaft-driven V-twin over outright sportiness.
PurposeBest suited to relaxed sport-touring and everyday road riding rather than aggressive performance riding.
Rider FitA moderately heavy naked bike with a low seat height, making it manageable for riders of average height and build.
CharacterDelivers smooth, torque-rich power delivery with classic Moto Guzzi shaft-drive character and stable, unhurried handling.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp, lightweight agility, off-road capability, or track-level performance.

2011 Moto Guzzi Breva 1200 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 Breva 1200 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.
