New Motorcycle Day - Ducati 749

[DRM]

I was scoping around eBay motors to pass time...bored off my ass, I started looking at Ducati's. I saw a bunch of 749's for sale...all around $10k and most were the Dark model. (which is a POS) I found this 749 for just under $8k...started writing to the owner, made an offer, and he accepted. The bike is being picked up by my dad (who is the head mechanic and assistant manager of a motorcycle shop in Savannah) and will be taken care of until I return home in early 2010.

Here's the link to the auction...

I'll post more pics once she's in Savannah.

Grats man. Ducks rule. Why did the guy replace the original motor?

[StukaJU87]

Sweet! Good luck with it.

He was going to build it into a track motor. I'm either going to do that or sell it. lol

That is so sweet....

I've been thinking on buying a bike myself. Anyone have first hand experience with a HD V-Rod Muscle??

[Spivonious]

Looks nice! Don't kill yourself!

I love Ducatis but I was told that they are high maintenance and that parts are extremely expensive.

I'm not a biker at all (well, I am a mountain biker) - but some of my friends are crotch rocket guys - and one guy got rid of a Ducati (Monster??? not sure) because he said it was just "too much bike." As in dangerously so.

Anyway, never rode a bike a day in my life so what the hell do I know?

Most Ducati's are pretty much their World Superbike/MotoGP tech in a street legal platform. The 749 isn't retarded fast like the Japanese literbikes, but it'll still haul. And a 750cc V-twin that barely weighs 430 lbs wet...that's fucking nimble.

Thanks for the compliments, bros. Ducati bikes are rolling art. Can't wait to ride her.

Beautiful bike bro. Keep the rubber side down.

I own the Night Rod Special, which is the exact same bike with different body parts on it. I love mine, have had it for 3 years and it stands out everywhere I bring it. The only problem I've had is the fuel gauge is very unreliable, but all V Rods have this problem. I just watch my tripometer and when it hits 100 miles, I fill up.

Sweet Duke BTW!

Bros,
Change of topic compared to what's been happening lately. Here are some pics of my new Ducati 749. (these computers are being gay and won't let me upload all of them...but here are some I received in an e-mail)
