my interpretation of what pedro was saying was if he shut off coming to a standstill, this is a bit different from 80mps on a bend!!

As I said we all handle things differently and we all accept different thing. For me its was a bit odd at first, but adapting my riding and as the bike has aged has meant that I find it acceptable. To someone else it might mean they sell the bike.

Yes, I am sure with engine developments this could be improved and if everyone shouted about this then maybe (just maybe) ducati might do something about it. From what I have read and heard this was mainly an issue on the 748r which in the eyes of the ducati experts that I have spoken to is the most volatile and tempramental of the range due to the extreme level of tuning amongst other more techical things that i can't describe.

Its a shame that Ducati have not resolved this on the 749r, but its pretty unlikely they will go back and resolve anything on a bike no longer being produced (748r).
