Rider Profile
| Best For | This machine demands an expert-level rider comfortable with extreme power-to-weight ratios and exotic, hub-center-steered chassis dynamics. |
| Purpose | Built as a hyper-exclusive, hand-built Italian trackday and canyon-carving weapon rather than a practical everyday motorcycle. |
| Rider Fit | The aggressive naked riding position, minimal weight, and razor-sharp steering geometry require an athletic rider with strong core and arm strength to manage its immediacy. |
| Character | A rare, boutique, mechanically obsessive machine for riders who want hand-built exotica with Ducati power and unconventional front-end engineering over mainstream naked bikes. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not suitable for beginners, commuters, pillion riders, or anyone seeking comfort, wind protection, or long-distance touring capability. |
