I agree with Xseal!
When you reduce the reciprocating weight the stress lessen to a certain extent.
Sure you will be running the motor harder, but the lighter components will stay in place better and won't force the bearing shells out from between the rods and the crank journals. Just like your bike tried to do.
The Carrillo's steel rods are quite a bit lighter than the OEM rods. The small end of the Carrillo rod's reciprocating weights is the same as a Ti rod small end. It's only the big end of the Carrillo rod that is much heaver than the Ti rod. If you remove the big end weight difference between the two rods from the flywheel you can have a reciprocating mass equal to a set of Ti rods! Also unless your running Forged Ti rods the cast Ti versions will stretch over time. So you can set the squish much tighter with steel rods like Carrillo's and sleep much better at night.
I used to run a big block Ford at the Drags, and keeping the bearings alive was quite a chore. When I started to lighten things up, I found the motor ran better and parts like bearing lasted longer, as well as the Rod's big ends staying round much longer!
Here's some pictures of a Carrillo rod next to an OEM Ducati rod out of my 900SSie. As you can see there is quite a difference.
