This is the very first bike in the USA to be fitted with the Bike Sport Developments electronics kit and as usual the project has been driven by Brian Sharp at Boulder Motorsports in Colorado.
The bike took to the track yesterday for the first time and with Shane Turpin at the controls the bike put in over 50 solid laps while Brian, Joel and I worked on chassis and electronic setup, most of which were centered on optimizing the rear end grip and getting the 'Drive By Wire' throttle feel right for Shane.
More on this project in a few weeks...

Brian Sharp - The Ducati 1199 is an important bike both now and for several years to come, this project puts us to the forefront of aftermarket development for this bike in the USA. With the addition of re-flash capability providing 'blip' and 're-tune' functionality for more standard bikes, and this new 'top end' Marelli based kit for serious users we can provide our track customers with a complete range of hardware and electronics for all budgets
Great end to the weekend with a win in race 1 and 2nd in race 2, not bad from 13th on the grid...and 1st time out for the bike.
