  3. Tks for the welcome Ricky
     
  4. Nope it was never for sale but i was looking at an 899 or 959 track bike and i would have decided at that point whether to keep or sell the 749

    in any event, its only a 2006 dark not an S so of no use to the OP

    thanks for the thought though

    hold on, dont you have half the UK registered 749r's?

  5. Thanks for the reply. Can I ask how you find the 749 on the track? Heavy on the wrists? Any pointers towards set-up or must have additions?
    Any general feedback welcome.
     
  6. its awesome and suits me.. im 5 10 and about 76kg and pretty fit
    like many mines quite heavily modded and im a newbie track dayer
    i got mine already modded as it was built to campaign in the thunderbike sport series
    if you decide you want one youre welcome to come have a look at mine
    im not selling but i would consider it if i can get into a later bike for cheap monies

  7. Had my track only 749R for 12+ years.
    Love it to bits.
    I’m 5’7” and 10st…fits like a glove! Too busy to notice if it’s heavy on wrists but never had an issue with that type of thing on any bike (including previous 748 and 916SPS on road and track).
    Mine has lots of mods.
    Not for sale!

  8. That is very kind of you, I may just take you up on that offer over winter, top man!
     
  9. I recently rode Cadwell on a 996 bip, which was awesome, but my wrists and forearms were feeling it after the 1st session. Mind you I am 5'10", a touch over 84kg (ahem) and not been on a bike/track for 25 years or so, with no bike fitness to speak of (and two years locked in the house eating pork pies)...when I write that down I'm not sure what I was thinking! Bloody awesome though!!
    I'm committed to the 749 (I have an option on a 748), even if I need to get fit!
     
  10. I did see this and thought it wasn't a bad price ?

  11. you sshould call him
     
  12. it looks good and cheap money... desmo service due at 15k but other than that its set to go
     
  13. Tks, but I thought for you. It's a bit too modern for me as I want to ride the CBT days... but looks a fun bike

  14. I am 6'3", 84kgs and find there is plenty of room on my 749 frame big bore engine track bike.
