Best for
Built primarily for spirited sport riding and back-road carving, with the classic Ducati blend of light weight and strong low-to-mid range V-twin torque.
Built for
A raw, characterful Italian sportbike that rewards precise inputs with agile handling and a distinctive V-twin growl rather than outright top-end speed.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for new riders, tall touring distances, two-up comfort seekers, or anyone wanting an upright, relaxed commuting bike.

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