Hi, Welcome and a Glass of Dry White please.
Yellow will be great with your bike but a Red 749 would have been better

but matching leathers look great if you can ride well. come to think of it, it didnt stop me , so just go for it!

me? ride great? Dont think so! Just mildly competent. Not crashed yet, but some would say am not trying hard enough then!

I had noticed this red/yella debate on the board.

Tell me, how can red be "exclusive" when everyone has one! Thats why I went yella.

Anyway, yes, first duke. Taking me a while to get used to the twin, but enjoying it.

Drinks up!

yeah, sure seems like a ball in here. Pity am on the wrong side of the pond

Welcome to the madness.Big mistake yellow,at least 10mph off top end,and with matching leathers you'll be the quickest banana in the west

[749er]

welcome, I have no idea about the leathers, and some might say thats why I too have a yellow bike, but I dont believe it.

Anyone any ideas why 748s seemed to sell more in yellow than 749s? The ratio between red and yellow does not seem so one sided on 748s than 749s

[Lily]

simple... the 99* range should be red (or black if you are cool enough), the 74* range should be yellow, with the exception of the 749 as that's just a girl's bike anyway :P






apart from the 749r which is cool, but not in yellow!!







did i mention i used to have a yellow bike... deffo the quickest

Welcome aboard and mine's a pint of merlot please.

Take no notice of the red/yellow debate. I used to have a yellow 749S but have seen the error of my ways and come back from the dark side.

I have a theory about bike names and Ducati colours I will let you know about the next time I see you Chris. I wont post it here as I would get barred from the club
