Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a big-bore V-twin adventure-styled machine best suited to experienced riders comfortable with strong torque and a tall, long-travel chassis.
PurposeIt's built as a road-biased big enduro, blending sporty V-twin performance with the upright stance and suspension travel of an off-road-inspired machine.
Rider FitThe 840mm seat height and 198kg dry weight demand reasonably tall stature and confident low-speed handling, especially with the long-travel suspension adding to the reach at a standstill.
CharacterIt has a punchy, characterful 87-degree V-twin engine with strong midrange torque, sporty Brembo brakes, and premium adjustable suspension that reward a spirited riding style on twisty pavement.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for beginners, shorter riders, or anyone seeking a genuine dirt-capable off-roader or a plush long-distance tourer.

2009 Moto Morini Scrambler Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Moto Morini Scrambler, 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.
