The big difference between a car like a Subaru WRX ((STI?)and a Ducati is that the car has a knock sensor. If the car ECU detects pinking it reduces the ignition advance and that has a significant effect on power. A Fuel that allows more ignition advance before pinking is gonna produce more power.
AFAIK a Ducati or any other bike for that matter doesn't have a knock sensor?? So the the fuel used cannot have any influence over the ignition mapping/settings.
