Tire pumped up to 31-32ish bike is a lot better, maybe as said not a R1 but much easier to pick a line, I have also fitted a LeoVince titanium can and front mid pipe and that has made a massive difference with the weight saving from the standard can, lot of weight high up that. Bike is just so much fun to ride, I get home from work open the garage and just go for my lid every time!! Thanks for the help
Prompted by this thread, I have reverted to the Ducati recommended pressures of 2.1/2.3, as opposed to Michelins 2.2/2.4. The lower differential between front and rear seems to give a much more eager turn in
