Default Three years on but she has to go...

Following recent drama,the beautiful Ducati 749S lives again and is looking as good as ever. But alas with a heavy heart she is to be offered for sale.

I'm going to miss this bike.

If interested you can go see her http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa191/veetwinducati/

Darn tried to make clicky thing but did not work.

Now that really looks good, I didn't know you had such good taste in bikes!

It'll be a shame to see it go

It is a breaking of the heart to think this way but tomorrow ads will be placed on web portals saying "SE VENDE"

Ok a problem arose a little while ago which cost a centimo or 3,but the fauklt was I am convinced down to an error by a mechanic and not that of Ducati design.

I would recommend the 749S to anyone who likes to ride hard in the bends from time to time. You would not be dissapointed.

Possibly a small gap now without a bike, if I were to buy tomorrow those on my short list would be:

2006 Fireblade

KTM Duke 990

R1.

Or possibly a Honda CRF450 motocross or Yamaha WR450 motocross to convert to a Supermotarder.

But all of that would be just to bide time to see if either Honda or Aprilia do rush out a sport oriented V4 Mille next year.

I will though have some great memories of riding the 749. A taste of which can be seen on this repeated video. Cold winter day and a relatively sedate pace, but still such fun. (Sounds a bit nice also!

I'm not suprised it's up for sale. We know that Pedro has been lusting after one of these for ages:

Indeed what a fine sports machine that Suzuki is. My only doubts remain over whether I could get the most from the power and sharp handling that it offers.
