Well. I only went and did it. Thanks to Bluey on here I'm the new owner of his 749s and he's the new owner of my cbr600rr. Chuffed with it so far, albeit with more 'quirks' than the Honda. Not always in a bad way. But, I find myself wanting to ride it constantly. It's by no means boring. It runs lovely thanks to all the work Dan put into it, and the torque and noise is just addictive compared to the old i4 rr. Was slightly nervous of the notorious Ducati reliability, but I'm glad I took the plunge. I'm just going to enjoy It and just deal with any issues as they come, rather than riding about worrying! Anyway, thanks to all on this forum who have been a good source of research when hunting for a 749s, look forward to being more a part of it all now I've actually signed up. Cheers all!
Good you found the Forum Berry, there are a gaggle of us that meet at Boxhill near Dorking* throughout the year although the monthly meet has all but dissolved now as we started to meet every weekend - more in the summer of course. *this is just a handy meeting place before deciding where to ride next (-: http://ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/the-anyone-going-to-boxhill-today-thread.12540/
