Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to an intermediate or experienced rider who is comfortable with a torquey, high-compression V-twin and sport-oriented ergonomics. |
| Purpose | Built for fast, engaging road and sport touring, blending Ducati's desmodromic V2 punch with a more upright, mile-friendly riding position. |
| Rider Fit | A moderate seat height and reasonably light 212 kg mass make it manageable, though the firm sporty stance and reach to the bars favor riders of average-to-taller height with decent core strength. |
| Character | Feels like a sportbike that learned manners, delivering strong midrange torque, sharp steering geometry, and premium Ohlins/Showa suspension for confident, spirited cornering. |
| Not Ideal For | Not a good fit for off-road use, absolute beginners, or riders wanting a plush, laid-back cruiser-style touring experience. |
