Your ECU can be flashed/remapped.
I'm surprised Moto Rapido chose a Power Commander rather than remapping the original ECU.
I don't know who's who in NI but given the racing community there, there must be Ducati equipped specialists you could call on.
CJS (Bristol), BSD (Peterborough) or Moto Rapido (Winchester) are likely people to try for mapping on a dyno in GB. For mail order maps try Avanti Race Parts or Cornerspeed this side of the water, the result will never be as good as a dyno setup though

You could try having a chat with Steve Hillary to see if he remembers any of the history of your bike as he was the motor man in MotoRapido back in the day:

Moto Rapido didn't have the facilities to reflash ECUs back in 2004, which probably explains the Power Commander. I had a PC III on my S2R 1000 and Wilf mapped it for me in 2007. They didn't have the ability to reflash until a couple of years later, if I remember correctly.
