Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

I'm really debating which bike to bring

Or both.

Or if I can get tjr178 to come along, which bike to bring.

The KTM would be better for the street ride.

The 999 would be a hoot on the track.

I don't need a whole lot more than 6 around here. Besides that, its more forgiving of throttle misapplication when you ride below the torque peak.

I know, but, she's still not fully sorted out and I'm waiting on the new tires, still have the front from the accident that is missing a bit of about 1/2" on one side ... and chain is not very trustable[has a kink that wont go away ... waiting on answer from vendor regarding 14T/48T&chain ...

Plus I'll need to get the case savers to install for when I replace the whole kit ...

Agreed but here's what I keep coming back to:

My last twos track days I wrecked and I suspect I have some mental hurdles to get over in that respect.

I am very comfortable and very fast on the ktm. And its so much more crash worthy that I'm really not afraid to crash it.

It's no easier/harder to crash a Duc/KTM.

Get over it. ;D

Its not about easy or hard

And more about cost to repair.

Give me a little more time to acclimate to it. I'm just starting to get into the groove
