Best for
Designed as a sport tourer, it blends Ducati's characteristic V-twin punch with a fairing and riding position aimed at covering ground quickly in comfort.
Built for

Not ideal for
Not a good fit for complete beginners or anyone seeking a plush, upright commuter bike, as its firm suspension and sporty ergonomics favor spirited road riding over easy daily comfort.
