Hi! Here's a link to a piccy of my bike..........

Message - Ducati Pictures

I've had her for a couple of year's now, having bought her from Ducati Manchester when she was 18months old.

The bike is basically standard with the exception of a few cosmetic changes:- JHP carbon hugger, clear indicator lenses (e-moto), carbon tail tidy (Ducati Performance- not shown in pic), and fairing bolts changed to black (not shown in pic).

The 749 was my first bike - I'd been meaning to take my test for ages and a trip to the Duc dealer in Coventry finally spurred me into action to get my licence and get the 749.

At the time I really wanted a 748 but having looked at 20 examples I couldn't find one that was in the sort of condition I was after

. The 749 was a sensible choice as firstly there were a number available at the time and secondly I could get a nearly new one in 'nearly new' condition.

To be honest I don't regret missing out on the 748 - in fact the 749 style has grown on me more and more

.

The only mechanical issues I've had was it cutting out on the go (no stalling when coming to rest) - this turned out to be due to a rusty fuel tank that Duc Coventry sorted out for me under warranty

. That's about it really - just wanted to introduce myself / my bike.
