I don't think the weight difference is that huge. But, remember
a) Ducati spends a lot on their suspension, they have resources
to get it right and buy the best shocks.
b) At least the 999 has a DSSA, and I thought their V4 GP bike
had a DSSA as well, but I am probably wrong.
But, I ain't no Bayliss, so in the grand scheme of things, I
would be willing to ride a bike that is 5% less capable, when in
reality I can't use more than 70% of what it has to offer in the
first place.
cheers,
Tom
