Best for: It's built for spirited backroad riding and classic-styled sport riding rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Built for: It has a raw, retro-sporting character, blending Ducati's desmodromic V-twin torque with classic Sport styling and a light, flickable trellis chassis.
Not ideal for: It's not a good fit for new riders, taller touring riders needing wind protection, or anyone wanting a plush, upright commuting bike.

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