Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider who enjoys a torquey, characterful V-twin with quirky shaft-drive handling traits.
PurposeBuilt as a muscular Italian naked sport bike, it blends relaxed cruising torque with sporty brakes and tyres for spirited road riding.
Rider FitAt 224 kg dry with a 790 mm seat height, it demands a rider of reasonable strength and confidence, especially at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterThe Centauro Sport has a distinctive, brawny personality defined by its air-cooled transverse V2 engine, shaft final drive shaft-shaft, and bold, muscular Italian styling.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a lightweight, flickable commuter bike.

2001 Moto Guzzi V 10 Centauro Sport Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Moto Guzzi V 10 Centauro Sport, 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.
