Ok people, I need some advise!
What do I do?
I have a 748 R plate and I love riding it, when it work’s I love it and when it brakes down I really wont to burn it……. So I have been looking at the new one,

THE 749????????? I was saving to pay of some of my mortgage but I keep seeing the it and the more I see it the more I wont it. and it doesn’t help when neel sad to me he remortgage his house to buy his first ducati.
I am 22 but being 22 I don’t know what to do? So what is your opinions ???????????????

[Walenut]

Keep the 748 and spend the rest on beer! Pay the mortgage off at 22 I'd have taken you for a BMW rider:lol:

[Rattler]

Stick with the 748 and buy some bling!!!!!!! ;)

[sye73]

My advice....If you love the 749,buy it. Life's too short to worry about money

[GsxrAge]

go bigger mate eg 998 or if you realy have to go new shape go 999 can't beat more cubes.

Do you find it difficult to keep the front wheel on the ground? Sit a bit further forward and it'll handle a bit better...........:sing::sing:

Stick to the 748 and get any tech problems fixed.

Oh Ricky, you soooo funny:lol::lol::lol:

Stick with improving the bike you've got

If you buy a new bike, it's just a more expensive platfrom to bolt stuff onto and you'll end up buying bling kit anyway...

Anyway, 748's rock the world. I recently had a 749R for a few hours, awesome bike, but not nice enough for me to be finding a spare 14K. (cos I'll not let my 748 go...)

[mikecardiff]

Cant really beat a 748 once you've got it all sorted - find a good bike mechanic / dealer who knows Ducs and put it it for a full service and checkover - anything that is wrong can be fixed or replaced, and if looked after they are generally pretty reliable once a few niggles have been sorted out.

I havent ridden the 749, and am sure its a nice bike - but go outside now and look at the 748 - can you honestly tell me you're going to get a better looking bike than that ?

[Monty]

Simon, take the 748 into Nelly and let him sort it for you-top bloke, top mechanic for Dukes. Cornerspeed Mansfield, so not far from you. 01623 758877

Totall agree with the 748 plan.

Went to see a 749, bought a 748!

If its good enough for the Guggenheim Museum (New York) then its good enough for me.

Most evocative shape and sound ever to take two wheels - bar none!

You could always update the 748 to a later model if hell bent on spending some cash?

just a thought :D

[simonducati]

I got my bike back from nelly a couple of day a go and I am the happiest man going, the bike sounds and fells a lot better. All I do now is smile:D

what a defences a serves can make, I must thank nelly again. Now its running good its time for the clean up!!! ( left lower fairing ) who can help me?

:bouncy:

I’m up for ride-out now. Lets gooooo :burn:

[Road Runner]

Lookin at your picture Simon I think you need both lower panels mate:D

[simonducati]

:lol::lol::lol: one thing at the time mate:D

What was it Kurtz (Marlon Brando) said in apocolypse Now?

"Sell the house, sell the kids..."

Ditch the mortgage and get a 999R WSB spec.

No, seriously if you want it and have the cash get it, this time next year you may not have the chance and will be kicking yourself.
Snooze and you lose.
