You might want to give it a bit more time and learn how to ride the bloody thing first
Seriously, you know that it took me a good few months to learn how to ride the 888 anywhere near properly after the ST. After the ST with it's big wide bars and jacked up ride height which helped it turn more quickly, it took me a good old while to get the confidence together to give the bars a good old push to countersteer...I was worried that I would overdo the countersteering and end up washing the front out.
But, after the ST I've discovered that the 888 is just a bike that loves to be bossed about. If you go at it with caution it won't respond, if you take it by it's scruff and make it do what you want it loves it. The harder you ride the better it gets.
I think that the 749 won't be quite so raw as a T8, but it'll still take more bossing than an ST.
