How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A hand-built Italian exotic superbike for spirited backroad blasts and track days, prioritizing cornering precision and outright pace over practicality.
- Built for
- Rare, jewel-like and exclusive. Combines Ducati 1098 twin punch with boutique Bimota chassis craftsmanship for a raw, focused, visceral ride.
- Not ideal for
- Not for novices, commuters, tourers or two-up riders. Firm suspension, minimal wind protection and no passenger comfort make it impractical daily.
