[Dougie748]

I have been on bikes since 1974ish. My first bike was a FS1E. Since then I have always had a bike of some sort. Most recently I have owned kawa zx9r, cbr1000, gsxr 1000 and even a vn 1500. Last year I purchased a yellow 1999 748s my first Ducati. I was told by the seller I would either love it or hate it. I went for a test ride and never stopped smiling all the time I was on it. I bought it and rode it over the winter and on March 2009 I upgraded to a 2002 748E which is my current bike. I have covered 3000 miles since then and the only problem I had was a faulty battery. I do ride it hard and it never misses a beat. As mentioned I have had a few litre fours but can honestly say that the 748 is just amazing...not the fastest but the torc and handling is the best by far.
So I am totaly converted to the Ducati twin.
Cheers Doug
