Ducati had crossed my mind too. Here on the coast you see so few of them, and those guys really get hot when they stagger out of Elmer's and the motor is AWOL from their motor scooter. Just kidding, that crowd doesn't go to Elmer's. Point being, the supply of unattended Ducati engines may be low to begin with. What a piece of machinery they are though. That would be very "Unconventional", just how I like it. Last time i looked, I think a Ducati would fly in CDCRA rules. Would hate to limit myself to those tracks. The RC51 is looking better all the time, or maybe the Suzuki. Just have to get used to the fun. All about the fun baby.
We tried a TL1000R 6 years ago because the torque numbers were so impressive. It wasn't very impressive at all in the car. HP wasn't there and it wouldn't keep up with the GSXR cars.
