Deposit down on a 749S. Was gonna get an 848 evo but was a bit out of budget. This came up and I quickly put down my deposit. Thoughts? Ducati DUCATI S 749S MONO MOT TILL SEPT 2017 FSH 2004 54 PLATE 748cc
I bought a 749 base in 2012, love the bike and wouldn't sell it, but its very different from when I bought it but the 749 is loads of fun in a tiny bike! got an 1199 and SL1299 on order but heart is with the 749, thats my bike!. Also the prices are rising i noticed.
Don't know much about the bike in question but I bought my 848 from them a few years ago. They're a decent bunch and always easy to deal with. Enjoy it!
Thats a pretty fair price. Lots are up for over 4000 and not all of those are genuine S models. You will love it.
Hi tmac ,congrats,you ll love it,traded my 749s mono in last November for a m1100 evo,had it for 8 yrs,was fab around donington park,I converted mine to a biposta for a while,to take my son out,put it back to mono for sale,still have biposta gear if you were interested,,
Looks nice, never been sure about the crash bungs through the fairing for a road bike. But, it is already done, so it is what it is. Had 2 x 749, easy bike to ride quick. Enjoy your summer.
So I'm expecting the 749s next week. Getting delivered so haven't seen the bike, I pay when it arrives though. The dealer claims it has FSH so how many stamps should i look for? Also any other things to look for before handing over the cash? It's also going to be covered outside while i have it for the next few months then garaged before winter. Any advice for keeping outside?
Several big locks and a "Suzuki" bike cover. FSH to me would mean at least receipts every year for fresh oil/filter, Even if it's been done by the owner. Otherwise it's not "full". FSH is a slightly vague term. Belts should be changed every 2 years and valves checked every 6k mls IIRC. make sure it comes with the code card for the keys.
Yeah just got it this morning, will post a couple of pics. Needs a bit of tlc to be honest but nothing too major. I just took it out for a quick spin and there seems to be an issue. When i accelerate in any gear is seems to hit some kind of limiter at about 8,500rpm, it won't let me got past it. Any ideas?
Not a clue....but it seems replacing the fuel relay solves everything on these.....im sure someone will be along soon to help with a definitive answer!
