  5. :wink: 748 is an ambitious choice if you haven't had a powerful bike before. Take it easy to start with and you'll be fine (except when the service bill comes in.....)

  7. Hello & welcome.

    Did a similar thing to you - bought my first 749 before I passed my test.

  9. I had a Suzuki GSXR1100 in my kitchen waiting for the day I passed my test :biggrin: I'm amazed that I'm still here.

  10. Whoa, that's a lot of bike very soon. I did a least a year on a 125 after my CBT, very glad I did. Hello and be carfeul!

  14. "748 a powerful bike" - that's rich! :)

    It's one of the most benign bikes out there, far less bother than any IL4 jap crotch rocket. You'll love it. Try ducati-up-north/sdc for like minded people in your area. This sunday - Galloway run Sunday 28th July - would do for a start. MBG is the ride co-ordinator, drop a pm.

  16. I bought my 600SS before I did anything even my CBT !
    But she gave me the biggest incentive to pass
    Hello and welcome to the forum
    You will spend many a day just lovingly touching her

  17. 748 is not that wild, you will be fine. Just recently passed and started on a 600ss already feel like something faster so 748 will perfect!

  18. just a moderate observation lol
    but I do find it interesting why some refer to their bikes as

    'HER' etc

    moderators perhaps move this thread to the MENTAL HEALTH thread chuckle

    :)

  20. Maybe because they cost a lot of money, are tempermental, take up all of your weekends.
