Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding sportbike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, high-revving V-twin and aggressive geometry.
Purpose	Built primarily for spirited canyon carving and track-day performance rather than commuting or long-distance travel.
Rider Fit	The low clip-ons, high footpegs, and 780mm seat height demand a fairly aggressive, forward-leaning riding position that can strain wrists and wrists over long rides.
Character	Sharp, precise, and eager to change direction, it rewards deliberate inputs with razor-sharp cornering feedback typical of Ducati's superbike-derived trellis chassis.
Not Ideal For	It is not a good choice for new riders, tall touring trips, two-up travel, or anyone prioritizing comfort and low-speed ease over outright handling.

Inseam (optional)

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 2005 Ducati 749 Dark, 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.
