Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike demands an experienced, confident rider comfortable with a raw, high-strung Italian V-twin superbike. |
| Purpose | Built as a homologation-special sport bike, it exists to deliver razor-sharp cornering performance and top-tier speed on track or favorite backroads. |
| Rider Fit | Expect an aggressive, committed riding position with significant weight on the wrists and wrists and legs cramped for anything beyond short, spirited rides. |
| Character | It has the soul of a thoroughbred racer, pairing a thunderous desmodromic V-twin growl with razor-precise handling and an unmistakable Ducati SPS pedigree. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the bike for new riders, commuters, or anyone seeking comfort, practicality, or a relaxed, upright touring experience. |
