Good for you!
The 750 Sport had charm aplenty, but 2 big design faults - 16 inch front wheel so stood up in corners at the slightest feather of a brake (which I know one shouldn't..... but sometimes needed when faced with oncoming wrong-siders) and the ex-Fiat Uno carb which didn't carb without icing below 40 deg.s F. Try that on a winter's day commuting in London when it won't run at less than 5500 rpm, and the dry clutch becomes an on/off switch if you use it more than twice every half hour. It would cause a saint to explore the deep end of vocabulary.
I really liked the ST2, altogether a more modern thing, but with weaknesses around starter sprags, clutch bearings and battery charger systems which, when faced with a long journey from the Alps to London, strained the equanimity !
Enjoy your Duc
