| A few thoughts.......... Have owned my 2000 MY 748R from new. As mentioned previously Take it to JHP to sort the fuelling, I tried every chip combination and JHP chip along with a set up by John was a revelation and completely transforms the bike, smooth power throughout with a nice top end rush.
Regarding the handling - my bike originally had Showa front and rear, I had this upgraded by JHP fitting Ohlins springs to the front and Ohlins rear shock. Again a total transformation. Interestingly, I later changed to Ohlins Forks and did not like the feel as much as the modded Showas.
Tyre wise I think Dunlops suit the bike best 208GP's for track use as they have a much steeper say super corsas etc. and sharpen the turn in no end.
If you want any more info re ownership give me a buzz for a chat my no. is 07970 658533. I've done most things to this bike including putting a rod through the side of the motor at 11,000 rpm (not recommended).
