Rider Profile
| Best For | Suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a torquey V-twin and sportier ergonomics than a typical tourer. |
| Purpose | Built for covering long distances quickly with genuine sport-bike handling and braking when the road turns twisty. |
| Rider Fit | A moderate seat height and relatively light dry weight for its class make it manageable, though the reach to the bars is sportier than a pure tourer. |
| Character | A refined, high-quality sport tourer with Ducati desmodromic V-twin character, premium Ohlins and Showa suspension, and strong brakes for confident fast riding. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for off-road use, complete beginners, or riders wanting a fully upright, plush cruiser-style riding position. |
