I'm not sure how much it's been changed from spec, but it sounds like an extensive (and expensive) job.
I don't think he's trying to upgrade himself into being a better rider. Just trying to make the best bike he can whilst retaing some of the original flavour of the machine. He's been bitten good and hard by the Ducati bug, and he's fortunate enough to be able to afford some very nice machinery and be able to bling them to his taste. I'm sure in the fulness of time he'll get around to getting extra training etc.

Aye, point taken. In which case, if it is a true classic, it should be rebuilt as was. It'll still be good enough I reckon. As someone above said there are modern dukes to get faster, lighter, blingier, noisier.
