How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a lightweight, boutique Italian special for spirited backroad carving, trackday-style cornering thrills, and collector-grade ownership rather than daily transportation.
- Built for
- A rare, hand-built titanium-framed jewel that blends Ducati V-twin desmodromic character with Ohlins and Brembo racing componentry for an intensely direct, visceral connection to the road.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for riders seeking touring comfort, passenger-friendly ergonomics, offroad capability, or an affordable, low-maintenance everyday commuter.
