That's a really good question Jasper and the answer is I am not really sure. I made the change from jap twins (TL's SP1 etc) about 6 years ago when I had a ride on a mates 749s at Donnington. I couldn't believe how easy it was to keep up with him on my TL and that was a full on track bike that I had built. That prompted a move to Aprillia as I couldn't afford a Ducati at the time. I was at a dealers open day last Saturday and saw a 749s in yellow with only 2k on the clock, good history and swooped it and £2400 for my 02 RSV. I just remembered the 749 as being sharper in the engine department. Like most of my bikes I will fettle it into better than new, so watch this space
