I think the rider is more important than the bike. After all, my bike was the best out there......................

I agree with Paul.

Makes no difference which frame you use IMO.

Put fuel in, ride it, win. Simples

exactly! there's really very little in it. down to the rider preference. i do hear tell that you need more than fairy dust and good intentions to secure one though!

Not sure Ducati's MotoGP management would agree with that comment

?????
I found that on my Class B SS I could through it around alot more, stand it on it's nose and tip it in without worry, My class A Monster feels much nicer to ride and handels high speed corners like island at oulton or gerrards at Mallory very well but it seems to want smooth wide lines I have found it much harder to dive up the inside into tight corners this year,,,,

BUT,,,

of coarse, it's a different bike not just the frame, my bike is probably one of the best on the grid,,, (thanks Chaz),, but a small part of me wished I kept my old one.

Matt 'Awesome' (won the last 4 races) Lawson

p.s. roll on next year, the bikes alwready in the garage under a sheet and a pile of rubbishwaiting to be dragged out in the spring..
