Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding machine best suited to experienced riders who are already comfortable with high-performance sportbikes.
Purpose	Built as a track-focused, limited-production sport special, it excels at fast, precise cornering rather than everyday commuting or long-distance travel.
Rider Fit	The low, aggressive riding position, firm racing suspension, and high seat height demand good physical fitness and flexibility from the rider.
Character	It suits a rider who values raw handling precision, exotic engineering, and the distinctive character of a big air-cooled V-twin over comfort or convenience.
Not Ideal For	It is not a good fit for beginners, commuters, or anyone wanting a comfortable passenger-friendly touring bike.

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 2008 Moto Guzzi MGS-01 Corsa, 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.
