  1. Hi.. been a Ducati guy since the 80s.. and now in a place to get back on 2 wheels.. last bike was a 999 with termis and all that jazz.. loved it.. took it around france and germany a few times never a hiccup.. But wondering what the thoughts are on the 749.. and yes i do like how it looks.. thought the styling was great and the bike much more comfortable for me than the 748 i had.. any input is welcome!! I'm looking to buy in the next few weeks!

  2. It's like a 999 with a bit less power and therefore street cred/quedos.

  16. Can’t work out how the 999/749 has grown on me, thought it was an abomination when it came out particularly after the jaw dropping 916, now I kinda like it...it’s witchcraft I tell ya!

  18. Get a 1200 multistrada !!! It's a great bike for not much money.
    Mines a 2010 which gets slagged off for problems and being a bit harsh, but mines been amazing and I love it!
