Looks like my 749R arrives in the dealers tomorrow and should be road legal for Wednesday next week. YEEEHAAAA !!!!

Just in time to be run in before going to Jerez.

Anyone else ordered one ?:biaggi:

Welcome to the site you luck so and so, a nice spanking new 749R to play with, can't be bad. Enjoy it.

Saw one in Snells on Tuesday and I must admit, although not a fan of the 999 shape, it looks stunning. I think it's the bigger tank that does it, or all the carbon.

Nice one and welcome.

Nice one and welcome. I originally ordered one of those having had one of the first 749S. Ultimately cancelled the order and bought a 996R instead, difficult decision but I'm happy.

Well done...............I hope you enjoy it.

When you have been able to ride it a while maybe we could compare notes. AndyB & I have the big big brother.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

The dealer has asked if he can use it for the display model at the Scottish bike show. I agreed as long as it is sitting on a stand 10ft in the air and surrounded by armed guards.

Thanks for all the welcome notes and as soon as I take delivery expect a host of photos !!

Does anyone know where you can get side air bags fitted before my trip to Jerez

I'm going at the beginning of May for 3 days with a group of 15 Ducs from Glasgow. The bikes are being flown directly to Jerez from the Duc dealership so all we have to do is ride them when we get there.

Where is the best place to buy track bodywork from as I don't want to explode the carbon all over the track on it's first outing ?

Cheers

Hi 749R

I'm going to Jerez with Ducati Glasgow as well! I've been looking for race kit for my bke, PRF do a nice kit (£350 unpainted), unfortunately it's full race, I just want replacement road/track kit (with side stand holes), haven't managed to track it down yet.

Hi DMC,

Have you asked Graham the Ohlins man who works out of Ducati Glasgow about race bodywork ? He is looking for some names so that he can buy in bulk and get us a deal.

Worth a shot !!

See you in Jerez :biaggi:

Cheers Niggs,

On my PS2 it looks a very fast circuit so I may have to don the leathers instead of the kilt !!

Hi 749r

believe it or not it's graeme and I that are looking to source the bodywork!

I saw your bike today, looking very nice, the way the carbon bodywork has the air covers attached is a cool touch.
