Hi davidinitalia - Tough one this considering the different models in both ranges and that there's probably been lots of minor changes since the 748 appeared in 1995. Then, the 748 and 916 Biposto's were virtually identical as the 748 was a derivative of the 916. So at the risk of getting corrected by our ducatisti experts, I'll say yes, your assumption seems to be correct.

The choice of ride is really personal, most of my mates reckon the 748 is looked upon as great track tool but I think they're both great for either track or road.

Naturally, I'd go for the 916 (am I biased?) and you're not mad to go from a 500 to a 916 - A throttle goes in both directions remember!

Stay safe and happy riding.
