Whats this about a 749R being underpowered with not enough torque ?

I was out yesterday with a few of the lads and most were on 1000s, my brother having a new repsol blade, none of them could keep up with me on my 749R through the twisties and i am no riding god.I looked behind on numerous occasions to see who was behind me but all i could see was a dot in the distance.

How much power and how fast do some people want ? the only time i was overtaken was when i was not bothered which was when we hit a dual carrigeway and they went on about how they hit 177mph on the straight, great eh !!!!!

80, 90, 100, throught he twisties is enough for me, do not know what others think but to me having fun without being stupid is waht biking is all about.

Tim, whilst at SS on Sunday Ducati have a 2 seater 999 for demonstrations, no idea of the spec to be honest, does have standard forks etc, but also has a rail bolted to the tank for a pillion it also had black wheels now unless they were painted they must be the forged wheels, and I would imagine they're using them because they're lighter for buzzing around a circuit on. Can you imagine the forces being tranferred to the wheels two up on a race track going as fast as you can?

I've got a 999s BIP which I would swap my BIP subframe for your mono, and wheels also if required.
