Jon Urry at Bike Social did a thorough write-up on the749 & 749S in 2020 – here is an excerpt:
“The 749’s desmo V-twin, even in base 749 guise, makes the same kind of power figures that the original 916 claimed, so it is far from a slow engine and certainly not one to be dismissed. Due to its smaller capacity it lacks the thumping mid-range hit you get on the 999 but it still has plenty of drive and once you get over the stutter at low revs (it’s a big capacity V-twin, they all do that but is less pronounced than on the 999…) and into the meat of the mid-range it is a lovely engine to ride. Some claim the 749 is revvier than the 999, which is down to the fact it isn’t as powerful and therefore you need to work it a bit harder to achieve the same speeds, but it is far from rev-happy and is still a lazy and deceptively fast desmo V-twin with a glorious soundtrack. The S version in both generations makes noticeably more power and torque, however for road use the base 749’s engine is far from lacking and most riders will be more than happy with its performance.”

No mention of deep scratches on swingarm?
I agree that these are cool bikes, but to claim that they appeal to people’s sense of aesthetics is a stretch. I do remember when this design debuted, it wasn’t exactly embraced by enthusiasts for its ‘aesthetic’ goodness.

If I knew what caused it, I would say.
