Just read mcn, frankies comments are great ' I brought a 998r in my local dealer fitted some corsa parts and raced it, we spent money we didnt have but at least we spent it on the right thing'. Ducatis less than generous comment 'Frankie is 40 years old, he doesnt care about Ducatis marketing strategy HES ONLY INTERESTED IN HAVING FUN AND WINNING RACES'. I thought that was the whole point of racing, to win??
Having aranged to pick up my new 999 next week I am now wondering if I should cancel the order and buy another secondhand 998r, but perhaps its the old adage its the rider not the bike

Annette and I overheard a certain Italian rider in the pits at Valencia, the comments about the front end of the 999 were quite outspoken comparing the handling to human waste
