There's some interesting stuff in the owners manuals.
As for no one but track riding gods can use 160, 180 or 200BHP or whatever I'm not so sure, no special skill is required in a straight line, the throttle can be on the stop no problem
its just the corners that require the skill
Surfing the torque on a big V twin is what Ducatis are all about for me, if I want to wring a bike up to red line in every gear I'll get another IL 4 thank you.
