Well, some of you already know, that the good folk from KTL motorcycles, and the Anglo American motorcycle club, have generously offered Flame an '06 749r Duke to race, the bike is very near completion now, and she should be tearing up the track in no time at all.

I think this is absolutely fantastic, and cant think of a better way for a bike shop to get it's name out there, than to put my ladys sexy bum on the seat of a cool bike, they on the other hand, thought that having TWO 749's would do it better, and yours truely just happens to be the other arse!

So F2 will soon be invaded by a pair of satin black Dukes, LOOK OUT THE LOT OF YA!!!

Rock on, and any one who knows a good source for Duke parts, please PM me, as mine still needs a bit of work to get it track ready.

Awsome work Drew & Flame.

Good luck out there.

Very, very cool Drew, for both of you.
Will you guys be doing the nationals? And more importantly the South Island rounds?
I hope so, would love to see you 2 carve up the field

And then some, I only found out about mine a couple days ago, and I'm hangin out to get it, Flame has been waiting a few months now, she's gettin all twitchy.

DUDE! Take it from me! Those things haul ass! Standard they make around 120hp, but chuck a race exhaust on and they get near 130! And thats with the motor untouched! Very reliable also! (doesnt matter what anyone tells you... They are bullet proof.

The Motomart 749r had a full Ducati Performance system on it (worth more than most F2 bikes out there!) . Sound great!
Get a good set of Carbon brake pads (beware!! NOT CHEAP!) and itll stop faster than anything out there.

You will need to play with the gearing a bit before they reach their full potential, Get a few blank rear sprockets made up, so you have a few options to suit you style. Not as easy to ride as an inline 4, but you have a ball learning what they can do. They need more gear changes than an inline 4 too, but you get used to that pretty fast.

Good luck.

Sweet!! Looking forward to seeing them out there. Good luck with it, dude

Maybe try Jarrod (sp?) Love for bits? Dunno where he's located but there may have been some parts he didn't destroy.

Jarrod Love was on a 996, but was in line to ride a 749r. They may have a few bits.

Ebay have lots of bits too.

good score bro and Bro-ette!!!!!! fuckin awesome the both of ya !!!

Still kick your arse drew!! Suzuki's are the Queens of the racing chess board dude!! and I ride a bike that kinda resembles one if you look at it from the right angles and look past the dents and scratches and dirt,grime,brake dust,oil,leaks,bad paint job,etc...and any desent mechanic could back up my claims that I ride a Suzi!!!
