Hi, new to Ducati

  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.

  3. Hello and welcome

  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...

    :)
     
  5. 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.
     
  6. It was a 748 that first got me hooked! Welcome.:upyeah:
     
  7. Thanks for the warm welcome :)
     
  8. Welcome. Im on a 1098s but still have my Zx7r, but would happily trade it for a late 749 :upyeah:

  10. I loved my 7r but there isn't enough beer in the world to get me to switch back...


    thanks for the offer though ;)

  13. 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
