cafe-racer / default rider 183 cm
Mash TT40 Cafe Racer vs Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans ergonomics
Mash TT40 Cafe Racer and Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans have modeled posture scores within three points for the 183 cm default rider. Treat this as a planning estimate; posture preference, data confidence, and a real test sit still matter.
Posture overlay
The default rider's modeled seated posture on each bike, solved from the same geometry as the score panels and overlaid on one ground line so seat height and reach differences are visible at a glance.

The modeled scores are within three points, so the result does not distinguish a higher-scoring bike. Treat the result as a planning estimate and compare each bike's geometry confidence before a real test sit.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Mash TT40 Cafe Racer lists a 800 mm seat; the Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans lists 800 mm, within a few millimetres of each other. Seat height is only a first-pass ground-reach input. It does not establish safety or actual foot contact. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change the result.

Fit by rider height
Modeled ground contact by rider height, in 5 bands from 5'2" to 6'4" (158-193 cm).
| Rider height | Mash TT40 Cafe Racer | Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans |
|---|---|---|
| 158 cm / 5'2" | Balls of feet | Balls of feet |

Modeled from each bike's seat height and a typical inseam-to-height ratio only — not a flat-footing guarantee. Real ground contact still depends on seat shape, suspension sag, footwear, and your own proportions. Confirm on the motorcycle.
Verdict
Mash TT40 Cafe Racer and Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans are both cafe-racer bikes, so the practical question is which of their real differences you'd actually feel. Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans runs a 73 mm longer wheelbase than Mash TT40 Cafe Racer, which typically trades some low-speed agility for extra stability at speed. None of that adds up to a clear overall winner in the modeled posture score, so the individual differences above are the more useful comparison than the headline number. Treat every figure here as a planning estimate: seat width, suspension sag, footwear, and your own proportions can shift the real feel more than a few millimetres or degrees on paper. Load your height and inseam into the simulator, then sit on both before you decide.
