Seem to be having that problem for the last few years Phil
When we went to Pembrey in 2009, I went with the goal of getting the Class A DD bike in to the 1m 10s on the Diablos following a terrible time there in 2008.
First session out on the Friday where I had booked the afternoon session of the test day and I was doing 1m 10s right off the bat, so I haven't completely dropped off the pace as sticky MiniTwin tyres and the extra grunt of the 750 would have helped improve that time. But it was easier in 2005 and 2006 after racing in SoT, F600, Streetstock 1300, Powerbike and Open in the preceeding years, made the smaller Ducatis feel slow and tame so I was happy to push them harder.
Was always a hard job trying to beat Matt on my TL1000S but beating the loon was possible even if he did feature in the results twice ???
