Hi guys

I have read every review about the 749 and in my shear lack of holding back for something I have always wanted I forked out the dosh and bought a 2004 yellow 749s which was in immaculate condish with only 9400km's on the clock with all services done up to that point and before the sale to me. Unfortunately I couldn't check it myself so my old man did and he didn't disagree. I have only ridden mostly dirt, still have my TE450 Husqy and a few road bikes but only on my Learners which expire in June2009 so I wanted to have a bike worthy enough to ride on when I get home. From the sounds of it there are no threads which mention the bike isn't everything it's meant to be and that is reassuring. I have already made contact with the duke club of Adelaide so I am dead keen to go for ride with the club and by then I should have my Zard system fitted to combat the lack of noise which I have read about in some threads. I will post a thread about the Zard after I get the chance to see my bike in a couple of months maybe xmas.
