I think you'l find they are.

Cool. Cheers.

The silver frame versions look like 04 frames and I noticed the cam belt covers are also the thinner 04 version suggesting they couldnt get the 05 cover to fit, the bodywork and swingarm are 05, weird but still a good buy

Cant speak for the 05 model, but the 04 model had Showa forks, but not nitrided. However the 749 is available as a mono, they are just rare a rocking horse ****. The mono tail unit does not have a number board.

see ma pic to the left

Nick. am new to this forum, but will give you an idea of the deal I have just made with Daytona, Ruislip...bear in mind this is a brand new 2005 749 in red, not the hybrid from Aylesbury, but the 2005 red frame...now I paid less than the Aylesbury price for their hybrids of £7,999, and even less than £7,500...you need to go down and see Chris...mention me...Jo...he will cringe but he is a good guy and will look after you...dont settle for a half breed...the resale value, I would have thought, will be much less than a thoroughbred 2005. Daytona's number is 01895675511...good luck :roll:

Talking of resale values, the dealers are not doing any of us any favours by discounting so heavily. If they must do so, perhaps we could help ourselves by using U2U

749er - I was talking about the '05 bike. You can't get an '05 Mono in the base 749. Only S and R models are available in Monoposto format.

I cannot imagine any other dealer having a brand new 05 model749 bip with the red frame for sale at £6795 like my local dealer has !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shocking

wasn't sure about the 05 model, hence the reference to the 04 model. Bit of a shame that. I am not that keen on the larger fairings on the 05's dont know what the general concensus amongst everyone else is.

Just checked my dealer 05 model £5500, AND paddock stand AND 10 years free servicing AND your breakfast in bed every day, from Kirsty Gallagher and its all transferable:devil:
