| Registered Forum User Ducati Meccanica Bikes: have owned 748/853/916/749/853R/748/848 not sure whats next...  Posts: 2,242 Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: deep sunny cornwall Mood: excited about the changes made to averysmotorcycles.co.uk that are coming up the old power debate after my mate borrowed and totalled a mates gsxr1000 at the weekend we had the usual pub debate over how much power/engine size a bike/we really need/use/cope with ................ i argued that we dont need anything more than a 750 il4 or a 996 v twin which most people agreed on. then it turned to wouldnt you like more power/top speed from your ducati which i would and i said i would probably just bore the engine out to 853 instead of finding a clean 996 to which they all laughed and said buy a 996. i argued that i can already corner much quicker than them and dont need the xtar power and why sell a bike with ohlins,single seat unit etc just for a bigger engine with less upgrades. then came suggestion of planting a 996 engine into the 748 frame is it possible to just bolt a 996 engine into a 748 frame or is there more to it than just that, it could be fun seeing their faces when my little od slow 748 keeps up with them on the straights and then ****es all over them in the bends. thoughts please ladies and gentlemen  | |
