There's pro's to a dedicated track bike for sure but I'm more in line with your point here. I want to develop my skills on one bike. I always wear the same attire when I ride so that I have the muscle memory of that feeling. Boots are a different feel than traditional shoes so I always wear the same boots. Also mostly wear leathers as they have a different feel than jeans or other attire. Same with the bike. Panigale is different from other bikes in so many ways. Engine braking, riding position, throttle delivery.
I ride my R like I stole it. Don't want to crash it but I have. Put $600 eBay plastics on it after a track low side and got back on it.
My $.02 worth but we're all different...
