748r
 

Dont think servicing costs differ much to a standard 748, belts are still the same price to buy and have fitted as a standard 748! And if its out of warrenty which it probably will be there is no better place for value and quality then at cornerspeed, were alot of people on here take there bikes!
You wont regret buying a R i love mine

agree 100%..

748R a bike of beauty and performance

Yep,

Stick with the FZR for track stuff and treat yerself to the R.

The belts aren't any dearer on an R it's just that you need to do'em twice as often. i.e once a year or 6k miles.

One thing to bear in mind when buying that "bargain" bike is how long ago it was serviced, if its due a service that can run to a good few Hundred quid, suddenly it's little or no cheaper that the bike thats just had a service. A standard R service can be anything from £300 to £500 plus and thats if nothing out of the ordinary needs replacing.

As well as the spec, i.e. model year and extras you need to take into account any other things that might need replacing that can run to hundreds, e.g. Tyres, chain/sprockets when assessing the price. Sorry in advance if this sound like teaching you how to suck eggs.

PS almost forgot to mention, As well as buying the R pay up to join the DSC:o:P:lol:

So you may not get a super quick response on your form going in.

The 748 is a good bike :cool:

The 748R is a great bike :cool: :cool: :cool: the later the better.

6,000 mile service = £575.00 at snells in alton

Normal service = £350.00

If you get one, go 2-3 up on the rear sprocket = even more fun.

3+ teeth on the back requires longer chain, but it`s worth it

Just get the bike and cough up the beer vouchers!

Just buy it,they run like an old dog on all but full throttle but what a feeling when your there.They have a real spanking top end and in my and other learned peoples opinion make the best noise of any of the Ducati range(50mm Termis's)thats boom and bite at the same time..Mine has done a credable 10.91 sec standing quarter mile time last year and up to almost silly speeds will not be humbled by the larger variants.Its the sweetest engine in the range but servicing is about £450ish per hit(WH Snells).
