If you can't cope with a high performance bike's foibles (as in something that is almost a race bike) then you should go get yourselves a nice little commuter. Anything in the state of tune that a 749R or 748R is in will be less than perfectly mannered at low engine speeds... they designed to be ragged..not plodded around on!

I can't say what the 748R was like, but what happens on the 749R is not the result of a highly tuned engine, it is a fault. On a bad day it will stall almost every time that you downshift.
