Whatever negative points are raised, ignore them and just buy it, you’ll not regret it.
I’ve had a couple of Ducatis (900ss and 916bp) and remember them with great fondness in spite of their idiosyncrasies.
If you’ve only ridden Japanese previously, it’ll take a little getting used to though.
Many years ago I had a short ride on a 749 (Burnsey’s actually) and found it far more sophisticated than the 916.
