Performance Profile & Rider Fit

Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a demanding sportbike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with aggressive, high-revving V-twin performance and razor-sharp handling. |
| Purpose | Built as a homologation-special superbike, its purpose is track-focused cornering speed and pure sporting performance rather than everyday practicality. |
| Rider Fit | The committed clip-on riding position, high footpegs, and low, firm seat demand good flexibility and strength, and become tiring quickly on longer rides. |
| Character | It has the raw, mechanical character of a classic Ducati V-twin superbike, rewarding precise inputs with sharp steering and strong midrange punch. |
| Not Ideal For | It is not a good fit for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or two-up travel. |
