The feature "old versus new" about the 748 and 749 is in todays MCN , yes , one of the feature owners is me , the writer seems happy to make up some extra stuff just to pad out the answers to the questions though , other than that it's not bad , the 749 comes out a resounding winner I would say


............and NO , the subframe on my 749R has NOT cracked , thats one of the made up bits

Nice, but if i were you i would write them a letter telling about those made up bits and tell them to print it.

hmmm, bit of a reoccuring theme here mate. Any news selling papers, rather than fact!

Yes and im the guy from the southwest with the other 749r in mcn
it seems some things i said have been slightly changed but in general it was how i felt.

As mentioned above, write to them asking them to correct the facts.

And I'm the 3rd owner .... Mark from Derbyshire.

I read the article and could only recognise about 3/4's of the comments I made ..... I guess the rest was poetic license
