To me, the best way to truly make the most of this engine’s performance is to keep the rev needle above 4,000rpm and indulge yourself in the responsiveness offered by its bountiful midrange. Even in Sport mode, the power delivery is measured and predictable keeping you entertained without completely scaring you like a Ducati Panigale could. I think accessible performance is what best describes this engine. This Ducati L-twin lends itself quite nicely to the application of the Supersport badge that this motorcycle wears.

And I’m still smiling thinking about that time as I pen this review. The aggression and heady rush of that acceleration is something I haven’t forgotten even a couple of weeks after I’ve experienced it. I do so and the rate at which the horizon comes towards me has almost doubled. The famed 937cc Ducati L-twin under me is spinning in the middle of its rev range, prompting me to feed more revs. It’s a balmy Sunday noon and I find myself on a rather empty stretch of tarmac just outside the metropolis I live in.
