I know

My IL4 is having another £1k spent on the suspension which takes it to the spec of the duc, it's then having another £1k on exhaust and PCIII which takes it to around 175 at the back wheel. I'm still only at £8500 then, also added a set of wheels and discs for when trackdays are wet and that's took me to £9k, another few bits and pieces and I'm still well over £3k less. All the duc has is looks and that's a personal thing altho to me the Duc does look better.
I do like the idea of telemetry but I'm guessing it's not a full system with suspension travel, wheel speeds, brake pressures etc as I can't see the rods and stuff around the suspension ?
it's something I will add to my bike as it's something I want to get into having briefly used a 2D system this year o nthe superstock bike.

I guess it's the economics of Ducati being smaller that means they can't make them much cheaper, a shame as I would have had one.

My thoughts onthis are if you are going to have too much you may as well have WAY too much

...and of course the old ones still look better. Old ones as in 996R/998R.

As for your 4? You never had any taste anyway.

All that will happen is that I will tankslap even more quickly into the nearest dry stone wall on the Hartside road. Even the 800 is far too fast most of the time on that road. I rarely exceed 6-7krpm. On the 1098 I'd be in 2nd or 3rd with less than 4krpm on the tacho.
