Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to an experienced rider who appreciates a characterful, torquey V-twin with idiosyncratic handling traits from its shaft drive and transverse engine layout.
PurposeA retro-styled café racer built for spirited backroad riding and boulevard presence rather than outright track performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe 800mm seat height and moderately aggressive, forward-leaning riding position favor taller riders with reasonable wrist and back stamina over long stints.
CharacterDelivers a raw, mechanical, old-school Italian riding experience with strong low-to-mid range torque, distinctive shaft-drive shaft-jack feel, and premium Ohlins suspension for sharp, adjustable handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road use, novice riders wanting neutral manners, or anyone seeking a plush, wind-protected, passenger-friendly tourer.

2004 Moto Guzzi V 11 Cafe Sport 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 2004 Moto Guzzi V 11 Cafe Sport, 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.
