Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Aprilia RSV4 has a 845 mm seat; the Aprilia RSV4 1100 sits at 840 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 85 cm for the Aprilia RSV4 and 84 cm for the Aprilia RSV4 1100.
That makes the Aprilia RSV4 1100 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Aprilia RSV4 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
