Mine has been thrashed mercilessly and I have to say, seems to thrive on it. One of those bikes that feels much better, the harder you ride it.
No idea if they fit, but 750 heads on 900 pots might be a good shout, as you'd get a useful hike in compression. They're pretty lo-comp as stock.
Clutch, gearbox and charging system, are the only weak points, really. The clutch is bloody awful, noisy and grabby. The gearboxes are odd, very little effort required to shift, but easy to grab a false neutral. You get used to it, but it's annoying.
The wiring from the alternator is undersized and will need replacing as the insulation crumbles away. Worth swapping in a new reg / rec at the same time.
You can fit remote reservoir master cylinders from any of the fancy late model Ducs for improved brake and clutch action. Mine came with a Brembo RCS brake master but I fitted a radial clutch master from a breakers that I think came from a hypermoto SP. Definite improvement.

I used to do group rides with a guy with a 750. A good rider but he struggled to keep up. Had to thrash it the whole time. But sometimes that's more satisfying than having power which you never use.
