Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a boutique Italian sportbike best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a race-oriented riding position and razor-sharp handling. |
| Purpose | Built as a low-volume, handcrafted exercise in cornering precision, pairing a proven Ducati V-twin with Bimota's own exotic chassis and suspension. |
| Rider Fit | Expect an aggressive, wrist-loaded forward lean, high footpegs, and a firm seat, demanding good core strength and flexibility over any real distance. |
| Character | A rare, purist's canyon-carver that rewards a smooth, deliberate riding style with telepathic front-end feedback and light, flickable steering. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the bike for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, passengers, or anyone wanting to venture off paved roads. |
