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
It has the soulful, mechanical charm typical of early 1990s Ducatis, with strong low-to-mid range torque from the 90-degree V-twin and a distinctive exhaust note.
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.
