Apologies if this is covered elswhere but still trying to find my way around the site - at some future time I'm looking to 'beef' up my 749R (used mainly for track days now) and wondered if any members had been down this route and evaluated the best options. I still love what I have and don't want to create a completely unreliable over-tuned lump.

Any info, way to go, highly thought of tuners etc greatly appreciated.

Sharpy, tell him how to glam it up with acres of carbon.

Cheers - bought it 2005, a year old at that time. Pic shows it in track bodywork. Previously had ST4, then Briefly ST4S before falling completely for the 749 when I got the chance to have it - and I guess you all know how the familiar pattern - now completely pre-occupied with all things Ducati !

makes the engine more "bomb-proof" with less weight to haul around !

Have a chat with JHP or dare I say Butch if the MT haven't deleted all of his posts as he's had the full monty done there you can get around 140HP out of the 749R lumpy reliably just more service intervals if you really want to go the whole hog
