I'm, with all your help, picking up the 749s tomorrow. This maily due to cash limits and it being an 05 model.
Thanks for all the help.
Next question, What do I buy and fit over the cold and wet months coming just around the corner.
Thanks

Hugger for one!

Get some silicon spray (wurth do it) and make sure you keep your coils moist free

termi's (if it doesnt have them already)
slipper clutch (if you do trackdays)
open clutch cover
14t front (not sure if the 749 has one as standard)
hugger
decent screen

Congrats and good luck with the new bike

You can't drop the front sprocket - it's a 14T already.

Get a hugger, Termis, open clutch and carbon bits (in that order)

Enjoy!

Do the 05 models still have the stupid cutout in the front fairing V piece? The front coil gets soaked and that causes problems (don't directly hose them). I got a carbon V piece from Casoli that is modified to cover the coil, but it might have been corrected on the 05 models.

[Twinfan]

It's open for access I guess, but closed has to be the best for the coil surely?

I'm sure you won't regret it, and you get the nicer looking swingarm/front fairing...good choice!

[Twinfan]

Nicer looking fairing? I'm not so sure. The swingarm is a matter of taste to..

However, it's the latest model so I think you've made a wise choice.
