Rider Profile
| Best For | This bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing strong power delivery and a tall, substantial machine. |
| Purpose | It's built as a high-performance sport-touring allrounder that can carve mountain roads and then cover long highway miles with ease. |
| Rider Fit | Riders should be reasonably fit and of average-to-tall stature to comfortably manage the seat height and the bike's near-240kg wet weight at low speeds. |
| Character | It has the character of a refined yet aggressive grand tourer, blending Ducati's sporting V-twin punch with electronic sophistication and long-distance comfort. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not a good fit for absolute beginners or riders seeking a lightweight, budget-friendly commuter. |
