As for speeds being higher on track - is that really so? Most tracks haven't got a straight long enough to really wind up a Ducati, it just feels fast 'cos there's a corner coming.. I'd hazard a guess that many people have been faster on the road than they have on a track..

Urban, you're right there, the possibilities for maxing out are greater on the road than on most tracks I've seen or been on, at least on a standard road bike.

As for which is cheaper to crash on (Keith's comments), I can only go on my own experience. Insurance is a non-issue for me, I cannot afford to claim on it anyway!
