Newbie From The North

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by McGoo, Sep 25, 2024.

  1. Just wanted to post an introduction as ive recently joined up, been a long time ducati admirer but have never owned one until now!

    Ive just acquired a 2000 748 which has been my dream road bike for some time, would have loved a 916/996/998 but they hold a much higher premium so the 748 suits me fine!

    will post a build post soon, bike has already been stripped so be ready for many questions and build photos

    Thanks for your future patience

  5. cheers mate, wanted this style ducati since i was a nipper! its currently in 100 pieces ready to rebuild

    does anyone know what this style bike was called generation wise? purely out of interest.. is there a model code rather than referring to it as a 748/916?

  9. No not that I know of, owners all say "748" with a swagger in their voice. Anyone who doesn't immediately know its one of the most beautiful bikes ever made, doesn't know anything about bikes!

    thought it maybe similar to other brands like suzuki gsxr have k2/k3 generation codes etc etc

  17. Yup. Definitely need your household waste receptacles in all bike pictures. Also, ensure you weed any driveways.
