MY2004 Ducatis, inc. 749R & ST3

richardh · 16-Sep-2003, 06:02

I've just been trawling around the Ducati MY2004 web site. Highlights in brief below, and pictures (courtesy of Ducai SpA) at http://www.ducati.info/gallery/MY2004/ - the ducati site itself is still largely password protected.

- Superbike: http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2004/superbike.jhtml

749R - 116bhp, 80Nm torque. Ohlins forks and shock, radial brakes 18.3l tank, slipper clutch. This looks like the business.

999/999S/999R/749/749s appear, at first glance, to be unchanged.

- Sporttouring: http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2004/sporttouring.jhtml

ST2 & ST4 no longer listed.

ST3: 992cc, 3v/cylinder 102bhp, 93Nm torque, Showa forks, Sachs shock. (web site says 4v engine, but pics clearly show 3v head.

ST3/4/4abs all have new top fairing & instruments including remote headlight adjustment.

BBG is no longer a colour option

- Monster: http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2004/monster.jhtml

S4 dropped, range is now S4R, 1000, 800, 620. Can't see any significant changes

- Supersport: http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2004/supersport.jhtml

Only 1000 and 800 are listed.

cheers

Richard

Wow black suits the new shape !!!

There is a 999S in Riverside Mcycles at the moment in gloss black with white number boards on the nosecone and the seat unit. Looks really good.

According to ducati.com the above is a 749 dark, which following all the other dark variants seems to be a cut price version of the basic 749.

I wonder what they've left off and how much cheaper it is?

webbyc · 16-Sep-2003, 17:01

Whatever they've left off can I have it to put on my bike?

DJ Tera · 16-Sep-2003, 17:13

What confuses me is why they put the coolest colour on the cheapest bike

tongpo · 16-Sep-2003, 17:49

is it really the cheaper no frills bike though? you can't really get more non-frillish than the base 749 ...can you??

The 749R looks the business! I'd convert to Red to have one of those

:P
Wonder how Santa's fixed to get one in his sack

Carbon fairings now standard on 749R.

Gimme, gimme, gimme
