If you did have a 03 999r you wouldnt want to ride it to anywhere near the full potential of the swing arm as careless mistakes cost more.
I have learnt the hard way that as wonderful as the machines are, we are sadly only as good as we are, and my budget is only as big as it is.
That said, I wouldnt swap my 999r riding experiences back. If i wanted to go balls out i would buy something cheaper.
I have also learnt that the whole Ducati experience is more than just the riding! Or else we wouldnt be sat here writing this.
I enjoy the mechanical modification side of things as much as the riding. The swing arm thing is a commit to memory, and one day see if i can get one, first at a good price, and then second, enjoy the modifying and fitting.
Oh, and intensive rider training has come free..........
