Rider Profile
| Best For | Suited to intermediate and experienced riders who appreciate a raw, mechanical sportbike and can live with committed ergonomics. |
| Purpose | Spirited backroad and canyon carving, occasional track days; a lightweight air-cooled Ducati twin built for flowing corners over straight-line speed. |
| Rider Fit | Low 750mm seat, clip-ons and rearsets create a forward, committed crouch. Light 182kg dry with a slim single-seat tail - purposeful and firm. |
| Character | Focused, characterful and analogue: torquey desmo L-twin, exclusive Superlight trim with carbon bits and solo seat. Rewards smooth, deliberate riding. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for beginners, two-up riders, commuters wanting comfort, or anyone needing long-haul touring or off-road ability. |
