That's an easy question to answer. It all comes down to your bank account. If you can afford to ride a Ducati you will. If however it is your dream bike and you save every penny to get it, knowing you can't repair it if it goes down, you're going to treat it like a trophy. Nothing wrong with having a nice ride to show off on the streets with. The suspension upgrades would be questionable. Why make something less "ridable" streetwise, and not track it. Usually those guys go more for the carbon fiber and exhaust type changes. Make it loud and flashy so everyone hears and sees you.
I have a friend who buys a new porsche every couple years. The cars never see the road. They go straight to the race shop for prep then sit in his garage only to be used on track days. Why because he can afford it, my other friends who drive nice cars on the road drive rats on the track. Cheap and easy to fix when the time comes.
