So if you go for a ride with someone on say an R1 you would say the R1 is a better bike ?

Your comment only means that you are a better rider than your friends it's as simple as that. Your comment also gives me reason to your original post, maybe you have a bit of a complex about owning a Duc ?

The 999 I owned was great, went well and handled well but if that's the yardstick to buying a bike then it wouldn't be the 999 as there are plenty of faster lighter bikes out there.
Buying a duc is sacrificing power for something else, a bit of character. But many Jap bikes also have that which I think is now showing in sales.

The main thing is tho buy what you want and be happy with it, there's no point knocking other marques or trying to justify your own choice
