Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some prior experience on sporty motorcycles who appreciate a raw, mechanical Ducati V-twin character.
PurposeDesigned as a sport-touring machine that prioritizes twisty-road engagement over outright top-end speed.
Rider FitThe 815mm seat height and moderately committed riding position are manageable for most adult riders but demand more wrist and wrist load than a naked bike.
CharacterA light, torquey desmodromic V-twin with classic trellis-frame Ducati handling that rewards smooth, deliberate riding over brute acceleration.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road use, tall highway-mile touring comfort seekers, or riders wanting modern liter-bike level outright speed.

2004 Ducati Supersport 800 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2004 Ducati Supersport 800, 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.
