I don't think we know the whole story (this is the internet :) ). If something out the ordinary was done with this bike, the OP certainly wouldn't tell us. He admitted to starting it more than once after the failure, which may be the very reason they aren't covering it. Interesting how nice he started out with the letter saying how it's his first Ducati, can't afford to fix it, yadday, yaddy, yaddy. Then the cussing started lol.

DNA was very keen to know that after my clutch failed, if I continued to ride it. One plate delaminated, and caused the rest to fail. They replaced everything, and 2 returns to the shop for oil changes.

drag racing last all of 10 second per run. My friend has raced both his 1199S and S1000RR, in full seasons of drag racing plus week day fun events with no issue with either bike.

If you not being silly and just doing it for fun your less likely to break things compare to track days. As there is a higher risk of dropping your bike on a track day then at the drag strip

It really applies more to cars because of the stresses hooking up at the launch.

I road raced bone stock 750 Hondas competitively in the 80s. As you say, I never had a single mechanical failure or issue of any sort. Then again, I didn't have a 1200 cc twin either :D
