The bike you buy in the show room only looks like the race bike ! The race bike only wins because of it's traction control system/electronics, In the USA where they can't run the electronics because they can't run a front wheel speed sensor and they are well off the pace !

Any sensible person would buy a jap 1000 as they are alot cheaper and alot quicker.

Sorry Ducati as I have said before I have bought my Last Ducati.

TBH the Japanese bikes that are racing only look like the showroom bikes.
Trouble is as you ahev proved is people only buy what is winning. I've ridden all the litre bikes and still now have the 999. 130hp is enough for the road, trouble is as you have said and included yourself being seen on anything other than the winning bike and riding with less than 160 hp isn't acceptable to those who value image and others opinions
