Best for
Best suited to fun urban riding, weekend backroad cruising, and stylish everyday transport rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
Built for
A relaxed, retro-styled roadster that delivers Ducati V2 charm and playful handling without demanding an aggressive or track-focused riding style.
Not ideal for
Not the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road capability, two-up long-distance touring comfort, or sport-bike level top-end performance.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
