Thinking of a race rep for my track 749.

What would you guys like to see?

Hodgsons AMA?
Breil 749r?
Renegade?

Let me know as it would be interesting to find out other peoples opinion.

cheers

Only one choice on a 749 - Breil. Might be worth waiting to see the new Supersport paintjob though?

As the 749 is more like a Honda than a (real) Ducati, how about a nice Repsol paint scheme ? I've always liked the Repsol colours......

Can't see the similarity myself having owned a honda, 748r and the 749.
maybe you could give the definition of a 'real' Ducati?:puzzled:

Sure -

Beautiful, individual, full of character, challenging to ride, instantly recognisable (even to non-bikers), not very comfortable, complicated and expensive to produce, etc. etc.

You should know if you had a 748r !

sounds as though you should spend more time on the 'real' Ducati portion of this web site rather than picking on us poor 'Honda' riders who are obviously making the mistake in seeing all those things in the 749/999.

For me personally, I also hated the new bike when 1st released but decided to experience the bike through ownership and experience before voicing my opinion.

I do agree that the 'old' design encapsulated Ducati as a brand but I also congratulate them on moving with the times and making such radical design changes.

AMA yank graphics, simple lines , black belly pan with white graphics.
very cool look.Does'nt look like an over kill,(i.e fila) plus easy to change once dated.

Mine may follow the same route with a little spin.

They all look good though !

DCR

We do full race replicas and the parts unlimited bike would be the type that would need a combination of paint & decals (ie:tank)
The problem you would face would be moulding the vinyl around 2-3 converses and convex' leading to creases in the vinyl.
any professional replica should always be lacquered anyway to increase life and bring the richness of the colours out. Adds depth too.

I do like the lines on the ama bike myself....choices,choices!!!:D
