Every engine,no matter how many cylinders or what configuration, ( you know ducatis are an L 90 degree twin) will have a certain character,

Whats relative to all things mechanical is if it sounds or feels right, it generally is right, or your doing the right thing.

Its a question of using this character to your riding advantage, for comfort, rideability, and reliabilty of the engine.

In simple terms its keeping the engine in its sweet spot. Too low revs and it will judder and sound awful. To high revs and it just wont feel right.

That little 749 will love to be revved. Get confident and play around up and down the gearbox, you can almost play a tune on it!
