749 749r Carbon Model Wanted

Can't help sorry, however I've have had 2 in the last few years - took months to find what I wanted, but well worth the wait so don't rush.

'original condition' always best in my opinion, however 57 Termi's and a Sigma slipper are acceptable after-market add-ons

 

Don't hold your breath. I waited and searched for nearly a year just to find a low mileage,unmolested base model.

 

There's a couple of nice ones on eBay. They have certainly gone up in price. I won't be selling mine.

 

I may know of someone over here in IE, will look into it tomorrow for you.

 

As said, there is one eBay and totally standard, look no further! Unfortunately they are so rare and in standard, then expect to pay...a lot.

 

I was lucky enough to get mine out of Japan. Only had 3600 kilometres on the clock and all original. their is a company in NZ that manages to get their sticky fingers on them from time to time somehow and for a decent price. Company link is Carbongarage.co.nz. If you flick them an email they could keep a look out.
Of course their are larger freight costs involved but the exchange rate would still make it appealing.

 

There is one on eBay, bit pricey but under 6k mileage. The bloke obviously isn't upto speed with bikes or this particular model as states he is selling it under the retail price! Plus says it is a 740cc! Although stock library image, would worry me. I would say look to pay 6.5-7k

 

Are you dead set on a carbon ? There is still a very tidy, mostly original '05 749R with good history at Moto Rapido in Winchester. Asking £8795 which I believe includes a belt service. Andy

 

Just a heads up that there is a Carbon 749R on Pistonheads :wink:

 

I do like the bullshit description and flannel.

 

Says 177 of 400 produced. My R is no. 0406.

 

0460

 

yep 0460, I have fat fingers!
