Rider Profile
| Best For | For experienced riders. The 160hp Ducati L-twin, aggressive geometry and racy ergonomics demand skill and respect - not a first bike. |
| Purpose | A hand-built Italian exotic superbike for spirited backroad blasts and track days, prioritizing cornering precision and outright pace over practicality. |
| Rider Fit | Compact, featherweight at 170kg dry, 800mm seat and committed sportbike riding position with clip-ons; balanced 51/49 weight split, top-shelf Marzocchi/Brembo kit. |
| Character | Rare, jewel-like and exclusive. Combines Ducati 1098 twin punch with boutique Bimota chassis craftsmanship for a raw, focused, visceral ride. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for novices, commuters, tourers or two-up riders. Firm suspension, minimal wind protection and no passenger comfort make it impractical daily. |
