Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a machine for experienced, technically-minded riders who appreciate exotic engineering, given its unconventional hub-center steering front end demands deliberate adaptation. |
| Purpose | Built as a boutique, low-weight canyon and track weapon that prioritizes precision cornering feel over outright horsepower. |
| Rider Fit | At 170 kg dry with an 800 mm seat height and committed ergonomics, it rewards an active, fit rider comfortable with a forward-leaning riding position. |
| Character | A rare, artisanal Italian sportbike whose Tesi hub-steering chassis and Ducati L-twin heart make it feel more like a rolling engineering exhibit than a mass-market naked. |
| Not Ideal For | It is not suited to new riders, passengers, long-distance touring, or anyone seeking a low-maintenance, everyday commuter. |
