Thanks for all the replies (and pms).
There's some food for thought there but I'm afraid I haven't had any spare time to devote to this recently as I've been working flat out trying to finish the rebuild of my winter bike before too much salt gets chucked around.
I will pick up the thread again when time permits and post any findings or further thoughts.

I remain curious to know whether the newer bikes, eg Panigale, which are fitted with lithium batteries have any inbuilt circuitry which avoids high voltage charging in the event of a reg/rec failure.
