Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to riders with some experience, as the tall adventure-touring stance, big fuel tank, and desmodromic V2 character reward a confident, deliberate riding style. |
| Purpose | Designed as a big-bore adventure tourer capable of covering long distances on road while retaining genuine off-road ability thanks to its 19-inch front wheel and long-travel suspension geometry. |
| Rider Fit | A tall seat height and substantial 225 kg wet weight mean shorter or less physically strong riders may find low-speed maneuvers and off-road recovery demanding. |
| Character | Has the raw, torquey, mechanical charm typical of an air-cooled Ducati-derived desmodromic V2, giving it a distinctive soulful feel rather than outright refinement. |
| Not Ideal For | Not the right choice for riders seeking modern liquid-cooled smoothness, sharp sportbike handling, or a lightweight, easy-to-flick city commuter. |
