Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate or experienced riders who are comfortable with a torquey V-twin, a firm sporty chassis, and a bike that rewards deliberate rider input.
Purpose	A sport-touring machine built for confident, engaging road riding on twisty routes rather than outright top-speed bragging or racetrack lap times.
Rider Fit	The 820mm seat height, moderate dry weight, and semi-committed riding position suit riders of average-to-tall stature who don't mind a slightly forward-leaning stance on longer rides.
Character	This is a classic Ducati air-cooled desmodromic V-twin sportbike - characterful, mechanical-feeling, and rewarding for riders who enjoy an analog connection to the machine over sheer modern refinement.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for total beginners, riders seeking plush all-day touring comfort, or anyone wanting an off-road capable or heavily electronics-assisted modern motorcycle.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2006 Ducati Supersport 1000 DS, 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.
