covers are £25 (£45 list) and I have the right size for the 748..comes with carry bag, belly buckle.elasticated bottom for good fit, and they are double skinned/completely waterproof..send me your e-mail and ill send you a pic of my black one fitted to give you an idea..

have set up a new email tonight so heres hoping it works. its now 748boy@bikerboys.co.uk instead of r6boy yippeee !!!!!

heheh one thing to watch out for as i also went from an R6 to a 748.................u can find yourself going alot faster than you think..they dont feel as fast as the il4 becasue of the revving.....

many a time u look down and think im going that fast..damn...

enjoy..the 748 is a world apart from the R6 u will never look back

Word of caution, check the cable routing for the seat lock as it can be released without the key. I Came back to bikes after 15 years without to a 748E and after some initial panics am having the best fun possible with your clothes on!! Take it to a trackday to really enjoy it. I'm a new member to the DSC so this is my first message - sorry if it's boring.

Welcome Godders - I got my 748s three weeks ago and am still smiling. I've still got my 750ss, but it's in a different league. Lots of help from all is available so don't be shy....
