If you want an equivalent to a 750 then go for the 1000cc twins (or a 600cc V8, or 500cc V16 ).
Capacity alone is a pretty piss poor method of determining performance.
All the best

its not all about outright power, i felt happy with the 749s power. ____________________ Ducati 1299 Panigale

Oh and remember to get a test ride on a CBR-RR or similar - though of course you won't have the so serious tart value .
Oh, and if you really want attention from people, you want one of these....

You know you want a 748 instead. They look a hell of a lot better, absolutely timeless!

sorry not buying new looking second hand which is a fair bit cheaper.
is it better than the gixxer ? Its not as fast, but it looks better sounds better and handles better and brakes better.
now all this could be sorted on the gsxr but its still not as good looking . ____________________ Ducati 1299 Panigale

they go for about £5200-£6200 for the ones im looking for, but ull find with a ducati its not buying them its running them and buying loads of tarty things for it. they just eat money.
for a basic Termi system or leo vince (half system) £800-£1000
open clutch cover £150 to realese the trademark bag-o-nails sound
i also have no where to keep the bike yet, apart from outside, the gixxer dont mind it, but the ducati wont like it, so new shed is about £300
As for the way they ride, its strange ive ridden a TL1000R and Gs SV650 it seems somewhat different to them, id say the engine characteristics is like an inline 4, it likes to rev and most of the power is up top but still with a bit more midrange grunt. |
That really isn't a bad price, in what way do you mean its running them? i know someone with some and they havnt had any problems.
748 (old one) and 999.
Your post has really made me wanna go and look at some
People are bound to look at you on a duke since not many people have one these days.
p.s why is there white on the front? aint seen this before. ____________________ www.gixerjunkies.net www.gixerjunkies.net www.gixerjunkies.net www.gixerjunkies.net |
