don't worry-just ride it.. if you take a trip to the factory and museum you will see that ducati are interested in making machines to ride, the starting point is something that is track(wsbk) biased, rather than the japanese who start with a production machine and turn it into a track missile. but all in all the ride factor is the thing. Problems...well they may happen, but the 748 is very well screwed together especially the later ones. Perfomance?? they are not the fastest kid on the block and a 748R putting out around 105hp would be the best of the bunch - if you need more power a 996/998 has it, the 748 is a revvy kind of v-twin compared to the bigger displacement engines..so you do have to try harder.
