Actually, the Yamaha R1 and the Honda RC51 are really giving Ducati a run for it's money. More often then not they will pass the Duc's in the straights, forcing the ducati to rely on it's exceptional handling to make up for it. the L twin in the ducati makes it much narrower, so it can lean a lot farther than the japanese I-4's, but Ducati has been losing more often. quite a bummer, for such exceptional bikes.
