  1. Hi Guys and Girls,
    Following on from my introductory thread here are some pics of my new bike. She I s 2006 full carbon model, with a few extras like full Leo Vince exhaust, DP carbon fuel cap, DP titanium rear sets. I think it had some after market chain adjusters and different brake levers, not sure what they are though:

  5. SunnyR . Your bike is stunning but it is a 2004 model. Probably the most desirable year . Thats the only year they came with a carbon fairing with the vents in the front . Unless its been fitted later. All 749R were identical apart from the 2004 fairing .

    You can check the model year by the frame number 10nth digit is the year of manufacture.

    its either a 2006 model with carbon fairings, or a 2004 model registered in 2006...........

    I will check he frame to see what year it was registered

  18. Thank you all for the really nice comments, answers to a few of the questions:

    Ducati2242/AndyB
    i just checked the frame number and the 10th digit is 4 so looks to be a late registered 04 bike.

    Jerryxt,
    I bought it from GT motorcycles in Plymouth after initially missing out on it by a whisker when the previous owner beat me to it, who 6 weeks later, part exed with these guys for a Panagale :-(
    PS would love to have your version of the R :upyeah: You still got them at Ed's place?

    P7rider,
    It definitely isn't suede so guessing it maybe neoprene.

  19. Sunny, the 1098 was swapped for another 749R. So I had two at that point - the 2006 and then the 2005 joined it. We think this is the bike that Nannelli won on at Imola - the only 749R to win a WSS race :biggrin:


    They're both tucked up warm and safe and alarmed.
