no i'd say thats spot on. its a very well fettled 749 by one of the best ducati people around.

[sharpo]

I'm impressed.
It should waste most stock 996/998's yes.

[electricsheep]

Don't forget the standard 2004 749R has 118 bhp, so it is not that huge a gain.

Here is a photo of the bike with the pipe fitted

COOL!!

Doesn't the 749 R comes with a half racing pipe like the 04 999R or the 05 999S?
Is that Leo a full system?

[electricsheep]

No the 749R does not come with the asymetrical open termi's that came with the 999R.

I did not know that the 2005 999S came with extra pipes.

Yes that is a Leo Vinci full system.

I the rain holds off for another couple of hours I should be able to take for a test ride

[Ducnow]

Yep, the 05 S brings extra pipes just like the R did.

Go for that test ride and report back

That looks sweet Rob - can't wait to have a go at Brands and Almeria

[Col996s]

Looks good Rob.
Are they as loud as you were expecting?

I told my local dealer (475 miles away) that the boys in the UK are seeing around 130 rwhp from a 749R with a 54 / 57mm termi exhaust and some setup/head work. They haven't had one 749 / 999 series bike with anything more than termi asy. muffler kit fitted.

See over here in NZ there is only one bike in the whole bloody country that has had anything more than the termi asymetric muffer kit fitted. Propably due to cost and lack of knowledge. Oh and I forgot availability

Open pipes like the 54mm and 57mm termi's or Leo Vinci's need either a new ECU with the correct fuel map or a Power Commander

Termi's come with the new ECU so they would need no setup.

If the pipe doesn't have a matching ECU then you would use a Power Commander

To setup a power commander properly you need a dyno and a skilled operator. If they have already worked on a similar bike I think the process is pretty quick

I found a link on the Power Commander sire for tuning sites in New Zealand

Hope that this helps
