a 749 isn't exactly a commuting type of bike. The committed riding position is going to have you crying after about 30 minutes or so.

It would be an awesome, albeit expensive trackday toy. Esp. if you were to dump it.

Not the most rational choice but nothing about Ducati's are rational.

BTW, if this is your 1st bike then you shouldn't even be considering it.
