Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding superbike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a high-strung V-twin, aggressive geometry, and race-bred handling.
Purpose	Built primarily for spirited canyon carving and track days, where its light weight, powerful V2 engine, and race-derived chassis truly shine.
Rider Fit	The low clip-ons, high rearsets, and compact 790mm seat put significant weight on the wrists and demand a fit, flexible rider for anything beyond short rides.
Character	A raw, visceral Ducati superbike with a thumping V-twin character, sharp steering, and brakes and suspension tuned for serious performance rather than comfort.
Not Ideal For	This bike is not a good fit for new riders, commuters, or anyone seeking a relaxed, comfortable, or long-distance touring experience.

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 S, 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.
