Solo, firstly, the quoted piece on the lack of Italian engineering is not from me, secondly, why do you say that my opinion on the Ducati's too much HP making it a bad handler is "not so enlightened"?
The more power an engine makes, the better the chassis has to be to cope. Ducati is at the point where their chassis' are struggling a bit with the monster top end.
Solo, why do you think that even with such a stonking motor, the Duke's still get handed their arses on a plate by the Yamaha's?
