A hybrid monster
It's an absolute beast when it comes to the roads and it's pure sound is just mesmerising and it's power is way too good. It's definitely an eye catcher and since its a ducati made no compromise in any sorts of engine or design. Pure adrenaline rush at red line and a very exciting one to ride a lower rpms
