The trouble is that it only happens when the engine is hot and they cool down pretty bloody quick. The thing that is worrying me is that I did a bit of googling (not always a good thing, I know) and I came across a post on a usa forum where they were talking about noise coming from the main output shaft bearing. That got me worried. I then read about belt tensioner bearings making a noise when they are on the way out. If I had the spare cash I'd love to take it to a Ducati specialist and just let them loose on it, but I'm not exactly flush at the moment. If I knew it wasn't something serious, that would be a weight off my shoulders but as it stands, I'm none the wiser. I'm not sure running it without the clutch in will get it up to temp or not, it would have to sit running for a fair while. I'll try and replicate it tomorrow with the clutch in to see if it makes the noise or not. If it does I'll strip it and report back. Otherwise I'll have to bite the bullet and Moto-r in Ruthin might be the next step.
