Rider Profile

Best For	This is a race-bred superbike that demands an experienced, skilled rider comfortable with aggressive power delivery and committed riding positions.
Purpose	Built primarily for track days and high-performance sport riding, with occasional spirited road use as a secondary role.
Rider Fit	Expect a low, forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs and significant wrist and wrist load, taxing wrists, shoulders and legs on anything but short rides.
Character	A fierce, visceral Italian V-twin superbike that rewards precise inputs with explosive acceleration and razor-sharp cornering ability.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right bike for new riders, commuters, or anyone seeking comfort, upright ergonomics, or long-distance touring capability.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2010 Ducati 1198, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
