I was always after the TLR engine in the 748 chassis, you know what, if I could sell the 749R tomorrow, or for a cheap sale, I certainly would have bought this as my next project...Ducati 748 916 996 998 TL1000R Special | eBay
yeh...I see there was one like that on ebay a month or so ago...although the 1198 wouldn't be as bullet proof as the old skool TLR engines! My old TL1000R, the most fun I have ever had, just pig ugly styling.
I can certainly see the attraction in that. Nice looking bike. Wonder if it goes as well as it looks.
You could always go for something else with a TLR engine and exotic Italian frame...A Bimota SB8/R, slightly more expensive though, and assuming you can find one!...
