| Everyone has there own opions and likes bikes for differnent qualities. I myself have owned similar bikes in the past as octo can maybe understand what he says on a first ride opinion.
I for one though would never give up my 749 now, I know it might be lacking in the power but its the experience of riding it that counts for me. I've never known anything like it compared to the jap bikes. Its the looks you get, people talking to you when you pull up. I even had car drivers wind down their window while your passing them and say "Nice Bike Mate". Its a winner for me everytime. I also ride a Kwak ZX12R and when it comes to the choice the Ducati is out of the garage more often.
I know when the 749 comes up for replacement it will be with another Ducati.
