Are you going to hit the mountains or track with it?
I plan on taking a few classes to become more familiar with the dynamics of it. I've been having a ton of fun just cruising around.

I have a 2008 R6 and love it but the Ducati feels a lot better, easier to handle and looks incredible. I don't care about the speed aspect of it. All I plan on doing is adding the gold 1098 Marchesini wheels, Termignoni carbon fiber exhaust and fender eliminator. Maybe, just maybe, a few carbon fiber pieces.
