Very pretty I'd go for 32/36 tho Ruthie, purely personal choice but on the road you'll need a bit more pressure than on the racetrack as the tyres dont warm as much or as quick and the extra couple of PSI will help open the tread in wet weather. What tyres are fitted?

Looks like Diablo's in the pic.
Go for 32psi front,36 rear.
As for the mirrors,dont try to look around your elbows,look under them.
Screens,go for the MRA double bubble,..looks great and does away with the running light.There was one for sale here a little while ago,..or have a look here;http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DUCATI-749-999...QQcmdZViewItem
Nice looking bike,...but then again,I am biased.

Good choice Ruth, nice looking bike !
and as AndyB said, welcome to the dark side

Looks good Ruth.

I was nearly naughty today. I was posting an ad for my car on the adtrader site and just did a quick search for Ducati on there.

Up pops a Monster 750, 2001 Y with 6k miles. Price only £1600. Phoned the number and found it had not surprisingly gone. ****** I was getting quite excited about getting a monster (despite really wanting a 748 but not having the spare cash).

Yes, well spotted KeefyB. Diablo Corsas. I upped the pressure to 32/34 but I'll up the back to 36. Had a little pootle this evening, popping over to show her off to Mr and Mrs Bisson. Absolutely superb bike. Probably the best I've owned and I haven't even been anywhere yet to find out properly. And thanks for the tip about the screen. I think my shopping list is going to get longer and more pressing. Now thinking I need the track fairings straight away and have been looking at the Oulton Park dates for October. Oh No!

Don't let a little thing like 'no money' stop you. Life's too short. Obviously, a little thing like her indoors might be more of an insurmountable problem

My heart hangs heavy to think that yet another person has turned to the dark side. Never having been a fan of the 749/999 series I have too admit that they have a beter seating pssition than my 998 but I still don`t like the looks.

I look forward to the new bikes that are to replace the 749/999 series coz I think they will apeal to all ducati owners who like the 748/916 series as well as those who like the latter variants.

I might even be persuaded to buy another duke...........................if she lets me.

Now lets just have a really nice single pot from the factory to complete the line up.
