  1. Purchased my first Ducati at the weekend from a fellow member, after a decade of IL4’s. Proud new owner of a 749R!

  12. I only bought one to piss you off mate ;)

    And. For the record. If it’s a 749 then it has to be an R. All the others are a bit meh.
    And. If it’s an R. It has to be a Gen 1. This is the law.

  13. The world is starting to realise just how stunning the 749/999 Ducati's are, yours in no exception.

  14. I’m struggling to think of a more sorted and balanced road bike than a 749R. Perfect!

  17. After some blood sweat and tears (more from my OH than I, admittedly), I'm delighted to have my 749 back on the road and looking the business. Will add some pics to the gallery mentioned above. It may be a 'hard' riding position, but the sound of her, and sheer looks....always a head turner.
    Welcome Dave, from another 749 ;)
