Hear ya, rung her out a bit too much for a bit too long.
It sux that Ducati cheaped out on some of the main bearings like in the 848, 1098. They're essentially race bikes waiting to blow up if run real hard. On my 1100s I try to short shift it an keep it in the meat, 4-6k most of the time.

Well **** brother you can afford to short shift on an 1100.
The Duck quacks at 9K rpm, that's the meat up to 10,500, It pulls at 6K but then so does a GSXR 600 and all the way to 16,500.
It does have torque and believe me bro I exploited that.
I used to run from Vogel to Winfield on a Honda trail 90
Back in the late 70s /early 80s when there was no traffic
Except local commuters and an occasional log truck
