Rider Profile

Best ForSuits a licensed rider with some experience who wants relaxed, torquey power rather than outright thrills.
PurposeBest suited to everyday commuting and relaxed sport-touring rather than aggressive sport riding or racing.
Rider FitA moderately heavy naked with a manageable seat height, comfortable for average to taller riders but less forgiving for very short or lightweight riders at low speed.
CharacterA characterful, shaft-driven V-twin naked with smooth low-end torque and classic Moto Guzzi charm rather than razor-sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking high-speed track performance, aggressive cornering agility, or any off-road capability.

2010 Moto Guzzi Breva 850 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Moto Guzzi Breva 850, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
