Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer and intermediate riders thanks to its modest power output and manageable, low-slung classic dimensions.
PurposeBuilt as a stylish retro cafe-racer for relaxed street riding and weekend cruising rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light overall weight make it accessible to shorter or less physically robust riders.
CharacterDelivers a charming, old-school V-twin experience with shaft-drive simplicity and understated café-racer styling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders chasing high-speed thrills, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road ambitions.

2015 Moto Guzzi V7 II Racer 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 2015 Moto Guzzi V7 II Racer, 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.
