[Spank]

Just been running the new 749 in. The handlings awsome, as sharp as my old R6 with ZX12R stability. It's the first bike I feel comfortable on using the brakes while cornering, and changing line is a doddle.
Can't wait to make full use of the chasis when the engine comes fully into play.
The manual says I can't go above 7K until 1500miles. At least I be able to go over 6K after the first service which I'm now ready for.
I'm impressed with it's 2-up capabilities and the comforts not that bad I've done almost 250miles in a day with just a small amount of wrist ache.

Glad to hear you've made the swap from Jap to Ducati and found out for yourself that most of the "cr*p" said about Ducati's is all wrong.

Did the same about 5 year ago and went from a ZX6 to a 748 and never regretted it for a minute.

Have fun and enjoy the bike
