I'm not normally a fan of full fairing bikes, but there's just something about the 749 Dark, and the black 999 featured in this month's 'Bike'... mmmm

A couple of weeks ago I went for a ride out with a guy I had recently met via business.he is originally from the North East. He has a lovely new 749 Dark. Ducatis always look very small to me even compared to many other makes where thou's look the size of 600's etc. But they are lovely if viewed in the right manner. That is- they are for serious minded riders only FULL STOP. Reliability questions I believe are a thing of the past and what you get is a real leading edge piece of machinery.

On a more positive note, my mate jumped on my SV to do a ride by so I could listen to my CCC end can properly. When he came back to me he mentioned how impresed he was with how it handled! And that from someone having just jumped off a Duke!

Buy the 749S. Ride it daily and you'll be fine
