'Rubbish brakes'???? I've got 4 Ducatis, they're all pretty damn fantastic for feel and stopping really effing quickly.
I've had both the 2014 M12S & still own a 2017 M12S and the brakes on both bikes are simply awesome. I can embarrass a lot of Panigale and V4 riders on the brakes, road & track. There must be an issue with your pads, fluid or calipers. I feel I must defend Ducati brakes!
Welcome to the forum other than that!
