Hi, i am new to this board having just taken the plung and sold my GSXR600 and bought a Ducati 749.

What can i say, its soo different to my old GSXR600. I didnt have a chance to test ride a 749 before purchasing the bike, i did however manage to ride a 999 before and apart from the obvious differences in power - the little 749 turns in much faster i think....

The only downside was the ECU stopped working correctly after 20 miles Not such a good start to ducati ownership so it's back in the shop.

But what can i say - im more than happy i have changed to a ducati from the jap 4's.

I can see why there is so many happy people on this forum

Regards

Jason
