How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- A stripped-down naked roadster built for spirited street riding, twisty backroads, and everyday urban commuting rather than outright top-speed runs or distance touring.
- Built for
- Raw, mechanical, and characterful, with the classic Ducati trellis-frame trellis look, air-cooled V-twin thump, and desmodromic valve gear giving it an analog, engaging feel.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders wanting long-haul comfort, wind protection, pillion-friendly touring, or any serious off-road capability.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
