countershaft

Finally put a 14 tooth countershaft sprocket on and it makes the bike much smoother at launch and easier to lug around in traffic. Haven't tried top speed out yet (will I ever??) as I only just turned 3000 km on it. Look forward to doing some touring after the rainy season here and see how she performs with panniers and my petite lady friend on the back (now that it is legal to ride two up in the expressways). The bike performs so much better now, I almost suspect Ducati had the 15 on there just to get improved mileage ratings for some EU authorities or something.
