Well, there are some other things in the pipe line, so this awesome bike is now up for grabs.

After the last round it is having the fairings fixed. The only other damage was a broken bar, (replaced already), and clutch springs and cover, (also being fixed).

The only damage from the crashes I've had, have been bars, levers, and fairings. Nothing structural nor the engine have been damaged.

The handling of these things is absolutely fantastic, and they go far better than I ever expected.

The bike had travelled around 2000k's when it was imported.

Pm me for price.

You wanna get that nose looked at mate. I'm not racing a 1098 any time soon.

Yeah, but since Kerry owns a bike shop, there are a plethora of deals open to an interested party. So for the moment we'll leave things un-said, and I'll talk direct with interested parties and see what we can do.

Hey .....yep bike has all documention availible to turn it into a legal roadie. Has some bodywork (original) but fairings are damaged, mostly repairible. Pretty sure headlight/taillight units etc are there, but will check with the boss for anyone who is interested.

How much would it cost to make it road legal again?...

Dunno what it costs to have an initial Vin done, but I imagine it's still just $350. As to wether or not it has all the bits to do so, we are unsure at the moment.

Na mate, I'll be riding the 749 till it sells. I'll be slowing down and learning some different techniques so to take with me to the new ride.

As a bump, this bike is fantastic to ride. If you're passionate about euro bikes, or want to stand out from the crowd, this bike will do the trick for sure.

He was only practicing, how to fall off, without hurting himself:yes:Honest:yes:At round 2 he fell off at splash twice to get it perfect:bash:So now that hes got it down pat its:bye: to laying on his side:rockon:

FROSTY
9th August 2008, 18:25
Look Rob I hate to tell ya but he just hasn't got it perfected.
You'll know he has when they change its name from Odermatt corner to Mair corner :bleh:

Rob Taylor
10th August 2008, 20:44
Jezzsss i hope he never gets that good at it.LOL. :msn-wink: In all fairness , he has only been testing the boundries. We had front brake issues which caused problems & when we sorted the brakes he wasnt use to them.Most times he went down ,it was not his fault , but set up .The only time Vicki went down was at the sound of Thunder, being knocked off ( Her bike that is). We are all learning and the "Team" is coming together:cool:. Vicki & Drew are both excellent riders on Excellent machines with a pit crew trying hard.I will ask Vicki & Drew to tell us what they think of the 749r's... From the pit crew point of view,the Ducati 749r is an excellent bike to work on.Other than replacing bars & pegs etc after a lay down,nothing has gone wrong with them at all.(And no hint of any problems ,still running strong)Just normal servicing after every 3rd meet.:niceone:WE get our replacement parts off ebay ..So if anybody is thinking about a 749r :first:go talk to Drew. May trade on road bike,so tell us what you got....

They are truely MOST excellent machines, and there is NOTHING else i would want to ride in F2:niceone: and our pit crew is more than excellent....they are the BEST!

Im kinda sad to see Drew's 749R leave our team, but I know his new 50cc is gonna be a winner :ride:

This bike is really awesome fullla's and fulla'ress's. If anyone rides it....they soon tell ya just how fricken amazing they are (geeze do you think I could beat people on just any old bike???? lol. )

And with BEAR's starting to now look a more regular feature again.....BRING IT ON!!!!

Anyhoo..... Im really looking forward to seeing it go to a competive home........Ive been sneaking closer to it in at every round lately:msn-wink: and want to keep up the inspiration!!! So.....anyone else wanna come play???:woohoo:

Rob Taylor
15th August 2008, 17:34
Well said Vicki. There is something about racing a machine other than Japanese.These 749r's are truly built for the track.Yes we have high hopes for Drew in the 50cc class.:laugh:
