Hi, new to Ducati

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by BenVig, Sep 17, 2012.

  1. Hi, I've recently bought my first Ducati - '04 749s - I've done a little research but this is my first move away from Japanese bikes.
    For the record, so far, I'm loving it - I thought my zx7r handled well but the 749 is so much more confident, really amazed.

    Anyway, glad to be here.

    Ben

  4. Thanks, yeah, I've always wanted a Duke, literally had a dream in June about riding a yellow 749 so I couldn't really fight it anymore...

  6. Hi Ben,

    Great choice of bike. I've had mine ('06 749) less than a month and it's just awesome!! Try and get some pics posted up if you can.

    Welcome to the forum and enjoy.

  15. Welcome, you want be disappointed the 749 is an amazing bike, not as fast as a jap but from my experience more rewarding as you can use it fully not like a jap bike were you ride round only using half of its power or you lose your licence. I've had mine for a few months now and would I go back to a jap, uuuuuummmmmmm maybe a new R1 but the 749 has gots lots,of soul and not many are seen at bike meets so always gets people stopping and looking. enjoy matey
