I have no idea if new 749r are getting hard to find yet but I know where there are some in stock. Just U2U me if you want the dealers contact info.

OnYerBike have 2 at the mo...............definite as just spoken to them.

£13,500 OTR

Get them now while they're hot as the 2005 model will be lower spec...........i.e.:

Smaller tank
Lower spec swing arm
Less titanium/magnesium all round

They'll still be £13,500 though

Really? How do you know? I guess the homologation from this year is valid for a few years...

Ducati Leeds have got some, along with a yellow Fila 999s?

I would have thought Old Yella would have bought the latter by now!!!

For the same price, would you guys pick 749R or 998S Final Edition?

Only through a conversation with the salesman (James) today.

Mr Everton will be expecting me to say 998FE so I won't disappoint him!!!!!

However the 749r is one trick Ducati and in some respects more trick than a 999r.

It's all about whatever floats yer boat, trick very race rep that just begs to be thrashed wijt revs = 749r

or that 999 motor that will pull yer arms off = 999r

I'm with Mr Chili though. 999r in that old out of date wrapper!!

Ray....how did you know that my arms have lengthened by at least six inches over the last year.

The down side of that is that I can now get my hands all the way into my pockets where the money is

I wonder if it would work on other parts of my anatomy :P:P:P:P .............. still my party trick of parting my hair with my tongue always gets the conversation going.
