ooo lissa ur a gem- i bloody love you

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Love you too, sweetie:smt008

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Desperately unfashionable because its not the classic 916 shape and has been superceeded by the 848,so dont pay serious money for one.Great bike to ride though so you should be able to get a bargain.

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Be careful. I have been looking (alot) into a Ducati 749 and I shall be getting one. The black ones (Dark they are called) aren't actually just a colour they are different to standard bikes (i.e. suspension is slightly more budget) unless you go for a later bike when they started doing gloss black which is okay. If it is satin black they are cheaper as they are less desirable.

I am currently looking for a 749S in Yellow cos you know yellow is the best :)

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Too cool for you Quiff. Stick to your Gixer :)

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Ducatis should be RED! Ferrari's should be RED!

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

;)

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

:)

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Ducatis are red,
Suzuki's are blue,
But the little Italian,
Will break down on cue...

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Don't get a dark, they arent as well spec'd as the Base Model 749, you want a 749S really.

But prices have dropped since the 848 came out. If you want one get one :cool:

The ducati site that Lissa has linked you to is the best one that Liz found

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

love the 848...but no pennies - - -

saw one at Oulton park with the ugly one they call Mr Uki....they is nice -

didnt know that the black ones were more budget- interesting

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Funny, very funny :-D

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Its only the "Dark" model ones that are lower spec, if you get a 749S in black you'll be reet, TBH you can pick up well priced 999's as well now, might get a bit more bang for your money that way and they defo do a black model.

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

749S is what I want ... mmmmmmmmm just the gixxer is comfy for pillion.

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Only the Matt Black ones tho. Later on post 2005 i believe they released the 749 in gloss black as standard.

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

ooooooooooooooooo dam fizz thats nice...

but its only 36 miles from you but bournemouth !! from me!.

I went to bournemouth to collect me car -lol.

its niiiiceeee

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

It is nice, and those termi's wont have been cheap either so that'll save you money not having to shell out for them afterwards should you want them.

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Why do all duc owners seem to go for termis? Do normal aftermarket can people not supply them for ducs?

Personally ducatis don't do anything for me, neither do ferraris though lol. should be a lot of bargains around with so many skint people!

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

+1. Theres a great pic in Hein Gericke catalogue of a 1098 with full arrow system which looks mint.

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

its got no rear pegs and doesnt mention em but it says its biposo wotsit.

ooo i love that- can see me on that hey UKI..then u can have me 3 suzuki coats i bought at Oulton..

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Because thats what the race bikes run, its vanity really I think.. or just wanting the right "bling" on their bikes.

Also for the 749 / 999 I havent seen an aftermarket system that looks right on the bike like the Termi's do, they all look sh*te.

I realise aesthics arent your biggest strong point though ;) :D

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

I'll give you a tenner for them. Can't afford much more than that as I will need a lot of burgers to be able to fit into them and they don't come cheap.

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

Next project. An 1127cc nitrous'd oldskool 7-11, with carbon fibre tank, headlight fairing and bodywork. Hidden under a scabby cammo net.

I like my performance to be well hidden.

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

mand SAID U WUD SAY U WUD HAVE TO FATTEN UP-

Re: thinking of a Ducati - advice
 

if its a Biposto it should have the pegs, probably just been taken off, but might have had the rear subframe swapped...
