Hi, Just got myself a 748S, which makes me grin as soon as I start it! I used to have a S4 Monster many year ago (bought it new in 2002) and I had forgotten how much I loved the sound. Really enjoying riding the 748 when the sun is out - which is not very often at the minute! The 748 has a couple of stable mates in the form of a 2014 Triumph Street Triple R (everyday bike) and a 1977 Yamaha RD400 which I have rebuilt to near concourse condition. The 748 will get a strip and rebuild at some point, could be this winter or next, including an engine rebuild and repaint of the engine cases - so if you know of any Ducati specialists in the Leicestershire area I would be keen to know who can help. No doubt I will be on here asking questions once I start the rebuild Cheers Lee Oh I removed the Agip sticker (after much debate), it had been on for years - not a mark under it!
