Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, high-performance machine best suited to experienced riders comfortable with strong power delivery and aggressive handling.
PurposeIt's built as a supermoto-styled hooligan machine that thrives on tight, twisty roads and spirited canyon carving rather than long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe tall 870mm seat height and top-heavy V-twin character demand decent rider height, strength, and confidence at low speeds.
CharacterAggressive, torquey, and razor-sharp in its steering response, it rewards an assertive riding style with huge grins on backroads.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for new riders, pillion-heavy trips, off-road excursions, or anyone prioritizing plush comfort over sharp handling.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 870mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2014 Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 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.
