Ducati 749 owner opinions wanted for MCN feature
 
Hi there Sporting Types;

I am doing a feature for MCN called `Why I had to have a Ducati 749 ' and wanted some owner opinions on performance, handling, brakes, what it feels like to own, any mods you have made, or would like to make...

If you can spare 10 mins chat on the phone, or wanted to email comments, please get in touch;

alastairw100@hotmail.com

The deadine is Monday 15th May 2006 by the way.

Or "The guide dog had more sense than to stop at the outdated stuff and went straight for the Ducati with the better engine and handling" :cool:

it wasn't when I spoke to him about 748R / 749R differences , I vaguely recognised some of what I'd said in his article but he's pretty good with the artistic licence ;)

I think another poster here was in the same feature and he said the same :sing:

Yeah, ducati and journalists.doesnt really go hand in hand, perhaps they were forced to eat spagetti as a child? :lol:

The most recent biased so called 'journalist' gaff was Whitham. During the monza race 2 he was banging on about how slow the Ducati was compared to the Honda and suzuki............just at the point where bayliss passed both Haga and Corser on the start / finish straight to take the lead.

:frog:
timing is everything.............:lol:
