Hi All, after several years away from sports bikes since selling my Superlight and riding mainly Monsters I got a yearning for another sports bike before I get too old . I have bought this beautiful yellow 749. Its from 2005 and has just 14500 miles. It had not been ridden for a few years so I have had full belt service by Iain Rhodes @ RPM in Northampton. Top bloke if any of you are looking for an indy. I only managed one ride over the weekend between showers but apart from a slightly achy neck it was as comfy as I expected and while not as happy as the Monsters at going slowly, when the coast is clear it all gels beautifully. Just the right amount of power for me too, enough to be interesting and fun without scaring the crap out of me and the handling is amazing. Keeping the Monsters for now , S4R1000 and S2R1000 ,although I may sell one in a while depending on how much each gets used. I`ll add a bin shot another time for all the bin fetishists, I`m thinking the standard black bin against the yellow paint rather than any two tone bins. Works for wasps and bees.
Nice bike, not as nice as red thoughif your local to Northampton area you'll have to join our small group when the weather improves, there's couple of Italian bike days coming up in June/ July, Cassington and Sharnbrook, also East Kirby in Lincs, hopefully we'll have had all the bad weather for this year when ey come round
I've never seen one, and didn't know they made any. It has the older models frame and wheel colours, but the nose and swinger of the facelift. Unusual.
Or The Cafe near Billing Aqua Drome. If you can stand the smell. Or Jack hills Cafe on the A5 north of Towcester Or The super sausage on the A5 south of Towcester. Oddly enough these even at cafes are promoted by the blokes who own said eateries?
" You`ll have to join our small group " Blimey, didnt know it was compulsory ! I just like to ride around a bit, maybe stop for coffee or a bite to eat. Next you`ll be saying I have to get a tattoo and swear allegiance to The Small Northampton Red Motorcycle Group, where will it all end ?
