Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to intermediate and experienced riders who appreciate a raw, mechanical twin; not ideal as a first bike due to its sporty focus.
Purpose	A classic air-cooled supersport built for spirited backroad blasts and canyon carving, rewarding smooth, committed riding over commuting.
Rider Fit	Clip-on bars and rear-set pegs give a forward-leaning stance; low 780mm seat and light 186kg dry weight make it manageable yet sporty.
Character	Torquey, characterful desmo L-twin with soulful air-cooled charm, a slim trellis-framed chassis and razor-sharp steering that begs to lean.
Not Ideal For	Not for tourers, two-up loaders, or riders wanting off-road ability or plush all-day comfort.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1998 Ducati 900 SS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
