Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some experience on mid-to-large displacement bikes who want a torquey V-twin without a full sportbike's edge.
Purpose	Designed for covering long distances comfortably while still offering the engaging feel of a Ducati desmodromic twin through corners.
Rider Fit	The moderate seat height and upright-leaning sport touring ergonomics suit riders of average to taller stature comfortably over long stints.
Character	A refined, torque-rich V-twin gran turismo character that rewards smooth inputs and confident cornering rather than outright aggression.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or razor-sharp track-focused performance.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 1998 Ducati ST2, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
