[MSO 748s]

Dear All

This is my first time back at the site since selling my 748s last year to buy a van, and I'm now in a position to look for a new bike - Yippee!

I'm hoping to go for a used 749s but am a bit confused. In MCN a few dealers are offering new 2004 749s's for £7000. They are full UK spec but are imports, hence the low price. My last bike was an import but I didn't realise until I sold it on. Unfortunately the buyer didn't realise until later either and was a bit annoyed, although accepted that I didn't know either.

So my question is does it really matter? Are they harder to sell on? The dealers say it's the same machine but Ducati dealers say they wouldn't touch them with a barge pole - unsuprisingly.

I think I'll try for a used 2004 model so if anyone knows of one for sale, preferably with a Termi can, let me know.

Regards

Mark.
