They were fitted to my 999 fila and are fitted to my 749r. The bikes feel more "flickable" but I'm not sure if that is down to the wheels, Ohlins or a mixture of both.

One consideration would be that they are only rated for 1 up riding if you have a BP or convert your mono for the odd 2 up ride then you may have problems. That is if you want to stick to the Ducati guidlines.
