The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Ducati Panigale V4 has a 850 mm seat; the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago sits at 845 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 85 cm for the Ducati Panigale V4 and 85 cm for the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago.

That makes the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Ducati Panigale V4 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
