that's interesting. it looks like it has the steering head alignment pin but couldn't see any offset in the tube. the ducati site tech spec says it's fixed at 24.5 deg. if you have other info i stand corrected. seems to me that 10mm longer in wheelbase and 1 deg more rake(than the 749r) will make it comparitively slow to turn. 2004 749r has c/f as well! $c/f fairing >$ electronics
