[QUOTE="Andy"] My 748 ate it's clutch, fucked up something in the rear wheel (dunno what it was, warranty sorted it), spat it's alternator off the crank causing a grands worth of damage and suffered numerous other small problems. I'll stick to unreliable Jap bikes tvm. It was always serviced at either Baines Racing or an official Ducati dealer and Ducati never tried to blame the full race system, the modified airbox or the different chip for any of the snags.[/QUOTE] I've no experience of the 748's at all. I wonder how different the engine is.
