Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding sportbike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with aggressive ergonomics and sharp, race-bred handling.
Purpose	Built primarily for spirited cornering and trackday or backroad performance rather than everyday transportation.
Rider Fit	Expect a committed, forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs and a firm seat that places significant weight on the wrists and wrists over longer rides.
Character	A light, precise, high-revving V-twin superbike with desmodromic engineering and razor-sharp trellis-frame handling that rewards an active, skilled rider.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right bike for new riders, long-distance touring, two-up comfort, or any kind of off-road use.

Units

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2003 Ducati 749, 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.
