749 R Fuel Tank
 

Is the 749R basically the same to reach the bars as the 999 even though it has a lot taller tank or does the height of the tank not make any difference ?

I changed from a 999 to a 749r and can confirm the distance is the same now the seat/tank have been moved forward to the position nearest the tank.

Never ridden, but sat on two showroom 749Rs

No perceivable difference to me between them and my 999R.
