Ducatis tend to require a higher level of skill to ride well but, they respond well, reward input from a skilled rider very well. In my experience they don't suit novices or people who are more used to riding Japanese 4's. This is why you often see low mileage immaculate Ducatis going for sale. On the flip side - riding a Jap 4 no matter how powerful or fast just bores me stupid because they are so anodyne.

There's no set engine speed that you should use with a Ducati to corner well. You have to learn from experience as to how the bike best performs. That comes from practice, time and miles.
