Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding superbike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a high-strung V-twin and aggressive ergonomics.
Purpose	Built primarily for spirited sport riding and track days, where its light weight and V-twin torque shine through fast corners.
Rider Fit	The low, rear-set footpegs and low, forward-leaning handlebars demand a fit, flexible rider who can tolerate significant wrist and wrist strain on longer rides.
Character	It has the raw, mechanical character typical of a desmodromic Ducati V-twin, favoring feel and precision over outright comfort or convenience.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right bike for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or off-road use.

Units

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Ducati 998, 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.
