749r Engine Deal

  1. Hi
    I've just been offered a 749R engine for £650 and I am tempted, can anyone give me some advice as to whether this a good deal what bits are titanium etc. I'm at classic bike live in Peterborough and the engine is nearby. So might be able to get the deal done this weekend.

  4. I got his number so deal is still on. Has the 749r got magnesium cam covers? And can I verify with engine number?

  8. They didn't have them did they? Some might have but a google images search shows not.
    We're the engine numbers different to standard?
    Tread with care :)

  10. Mag covers, and carbon belt covers on mine.
    That looks a bit like it has neither.

  11. I think Airduck and Sev are right looks like it has neither and I would put a pic of the 749R stamp in the ad
