  1. Well I've been offered a 749r with less than 1000 miles, original owner, bigbore system etc etc.

    Basically what should I look for on it? Its been sat in a collection, its been started and ridden for 3 miles once a month, then put back. 2 ducati service centers have said this is a good thing and it'll all be fine, it'll just need a belt service and all new fluids. Do we all agree with them?

    Last of all, do you all think is the market price for this?:upyeah:

  14. I'm keeping the price to myself for now. I've yet got to get it home and give it a full service/going over.

  15. Enjoy. Did you go for the carbon/non-carbon?

    Trouble is now, as it's only got <1000 miles, you won't want to put any miles on it :tongue:

  16. It's a 2004 carbon one.

    Put it this way, it won't stay low mileage for too long :)
