2003 1000DS - handlebar vibration

Just bought a used 2003 SuperSport 1000 a few days ago in the UK and drove it down to the Alps in France where I live.

The bike has 6000 miles on it and seems perfect in every way I can see. I haven\'t had a road bike since about 1990 so it\'s been a few years..... My last bike was a 1982 Honda CB650 just to let you know where I am coming from. I have never owned a Ducati.

Handlebar vibration: Yeah, yeah I know twins vibrate - but I have no reference. I did 620 miles on the bike in 2 days. I got back 3 days ago and the fingers in my right hand are still numb. I have no doubt that the first day I was holding the throttle to hard but day 2 I really tried everything to reduce the vibration transmitted to my hands. Is this normal? And if so OK, I can live with it (I think) but if it is not what should I check? The bike is under warranty until November so I want to sort anything out before then.

Thanks -

scott
