Just purchased a ducati st2 1998 had one a few years ago, it was cheap only 20,000 miles  on the clock all MOTS etc, although it needs new belts, chain and sprockets and probably new clutch plates which i can do myself, the old ducati is pretty easy to work on once the fairing is removed.
 
only thing is the gearing is reverse ie, 1 up 5 down. how do i change it back.

Changing the rearsets to road pattern should change the gear selection mate.

Anyway without pics you are getting no more help lol

Just swap the end of the linkage around from below or over the spindle

Not the best picture and obviously not a duc but change the linkage so if at the moment it's pulling when changing reverse it and vice versa ...

Or you may have a reverse shifter and ino linkage common mod on the Ducati looking at the forums..in which case you'll need to buy the original shifter and linkage ...but apparently they are not too good hence the change

sloppy gear change with the linkage...direct lever no linkage = nice precise gear change but means GP shift

Well known mod on the Ducati forums
