I just don't think that's true. I'm running a loan bike at the moment, and it's the first IL4 I've ever ridden (I'd ridden a VFR before, though). It's a Honda Hornet, not the most exciting of bikes, but instructive as the same.

Seems to me that the engine characteristics of a Ducati (and I've owned 2 and 4 valvers) and an IL4 are *so* different that it'd take some time to *learn* an IL4 properly.

Personally, I think I've seen enough...
