No Termi\'s with new 749R?

Ive been looking at the specs for the 999R and the 749R.According to the spec,the 999R comes with race (102db) system,stand and cover.Nothing is mentioned for the 749R.I thought the 748R came with race cans,stand etc,but it looks like we are gonna be short changed with the new bike.
Maybe its to keep the cost down?

Only the later model 748R had Termi's in the box , the original ones did not have them
The spec for the 748R was improved throughout it's run , early models had Showa suspension , the later models got (japanese) ohlins , carbon airbox , Termi's

I read in MCN that the price will be around £13,400, at that price I think they should have termis - otherwise I suspect a few people may start looking at the new Aprilia Mille Factory at around £10,500!

As for me & the 749R - I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one............

At £13.5k you might as well buy a 999S , same suspension , more horses.......ok the 749R has radial brakes slipper clutch , carbon panels and the new fabricated swing arm but thats way too much

The original price quoted in MCN was £11k which is probably low , somewhere in the middle sounds about right

Couldn't agree more

But I'm way too tight to buy new anyway!! - did it once lost half the value in 2 years - never again!
