Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, quick-steering chassis and a demanding riding position. |
| Purpose | Built as a boutique Italian sportbike, it's meant for spirited backroad carving and trackday-style cornering rather than raw top-speed bragging rights. |
| Rider Fit | The low, compact 170kg chassis combined with an aggressive, forward-leaning stance demands an active, fit rider comfortable with weight on the wrists. |
| Character | It rewards precise inputs with razor-sharp handling, delivering the soulful pull of a Ducati L-twin wrapped in an exotic, hand-built chassis. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not for riders seeking upright comfort, long-distance touring ease, or a forgiving, low-maintenance daily commuter. |
