My New 749S
 
Finally bought one

2004 Ducati 749S
Termi Assemetric system
Gel seat pad :)
Airflow screen
Powercoated wheels and swingarm from new
900 miles on the clock

so the bike had never been used in the wet, so when i pick it up what does it do ?
absolutly buckets down, i get home and the bike is cacked in dirt, i franticly dry and wash the dirt off and scottoiler FS365 everything.
i look at the weather this week, Rain rain rain, what luck eh.
anyway the bike is awsome, handles sublime.
Probably the best sounding bike ive heard, its a beatiful thing.
ill get some proper pictures up for you lot when the weather stops being shite.

Great choice, enjoy.

Is that a black painted swingarm? Nice!

sorry about the weather, it's a shame when you get a new bike and it never stops raining, but it will it just seams to take for ever.
hello by the way and welcome.
I like the wheels as well. not sure about the swinging arm I want to see a polished swinging arm with black wheels, the rest standard
hope the sun comes out soon for both owr sakes.

Doh! Read post properly before replying...

If you are going to fit a tail tidy for gods sake don't buy an Aresend, they are shite, I had to fit 3 number plates before I worked that out.

But they are nice, I love mine.:D:D

ricco749s 23-May-2006 19:53

strongly recommend you get the suspension properly set up including raising the rear ride height - the standard ducati settings, certainly on the '03 749s, can be readily improved. Certainly the case with my now sold and still sorely missed 's', despite the fact that I'm now running a 999r...good luck with it.

Wheels are in being powdercoated at the moment.

How the hell do I get my swingarm out. That looks the dogs in black

Something missing from the pic tho,....hmm,.....oh yeah,the big silly grin!:D
Lovely bike,enjoy!

the engine braking is quite hard to get used to, blipping the throttle is the only real way unless you have a slipper.
plus blipping sounds good with those Termis
