Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding superbike best suited to experienced riders who are already comfortable with high-power, track-focused machines.
Purpose	Built primarily for spirited canyon carving and track days, with road use very much a secondary consideration.
Rider Fit	Expect an aggressive, wrist-and-shoulder-loaded riding position with high pegs and a low, narrow seat that rewards a fit, flexible rider.
Character	A raw, mechanical Italian V-twin superbike that rewards precise inputs with sharp handling, strong brakes, and an unmistakable desmodromic soundtrack.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or pillion-heavy trips.

Units

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2005 Ducati 999 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.
