MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro vs Yamaha XSR900 Abarth ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro has a 845 mm seat; the Yamaha XSR900 Abarth sits at 830 mm — a 15 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 MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro and 83 cm for the Yamaha XSR900 Abarth.

That makes the Yamaha XSR900 Abarth the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro 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.
