Rider Profile

Best ForThis adventure-styled V-twin suits riders who already have solid experience with mid-to-large displacement bikes and want a punchy, characterful engine paired with adjustable premium suspension.
PurposeIt is built as a versatile allround machine, equally happy carving mountain roads as covering long-distance touring miles with occasional light gravel excursions.
Rider FitA 830mm seat height and 210kg dry weight make it manageable for average-to-tall riders, though shorter riders may find the reach to the ground a stretch.
CharacterThe Bialbero CorsaCorta V2 engine gives it a torquey, characterful pulse with strong midrange, favoring feel and engagement over outright top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForIt is not the right choice for novice riders or those seeking a lightweight, low-seat commuter, nor for dedicated hardcore off-road use given its street-biased 19/17 inch wheel setup.

2012 Moto Morini Granpasso H83 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2012 Moto Morini Granpasso H83, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
