Nice bike but $14,700 for the 749s is not going to reek havoc with those that adhere to K Paul's price to performance ratio. VWW

Where's the passion!

Gee, Mr. Burns, your commentary RE the 749 seems somewhat forced and lacking passion (among other things). Kind of like a Home Depot stock clerk, me thinks. If you need someone to take your seat on the next silver tube to Spain, I'll be happy to oblige.

Not for me!

Is it just me or has MO been kick ass lately?

 

[TrackDaddy]

It's just you...

 

[dnakase]

Any other color available besides Lemon Yellow?

One does not reek havoc unless one stinks of devastation, ruination or catastrophe (cat-ass-trophy?). Thankfully, anyone may wreak havoc with or without KPaul, his consent, ideas or knowledge.

Yes we love you JohnnyB, just try not to be a ****, OK?

Was it just me?

Or was there stuf missing from both of the rescent Ducati articles? I mean, yeah the 620 doesn't have the engine that a SV 650 has, but it does have SS braided lines, Brembo brakes, a better warrantee, upside down forks. Are they more comfortable than last years models? I thought most motorcycle guys were interested in specs as well as review commentary...

I hate to nit-pick [not really], but it should be testastretta calzone, or testastretta lasagne, not tetastretta enchilada, looks like another wonderfull bike that I don't have, we'll just add this one to the list as well.

Congratulations, apparently at least one MO reader partially grasps the concept of a pun. VWW

Nice job on the article. One problem- one of the photos obscured some of the writing, about half a paragraph's worth. My comments on the bike are limited to what I feel qualified to say. The 749 looks a hell of a lot better in yellow than the 999 looks in red. Of course, to each his own. Other than that, how much of us can really afford to pay that much for a supersport when a Japanese or British open-classer costs thousands less? I'd love to get one, but my pocket book says no.

That looks like a fun, fun bike! Hmmm, my SV could be my everyday bike and this could be my bike for those special occasions. Maybe I'll just try to find a cheap 748 now. Speaking of, Mr. Burns really didn't comment on how different the new is 749 compared to the old 748...

Speaking of the SV,...

I'd like to see how the $8k 115hp SV1000s stands up to the 14k ?hp Duc 749s

 

[TheFox]

Re: Speaking of the SV,...

Just guessing here, but it's probably cheaper and faster...

Dear VFRrider: Do you know what happened to vfrhonda.com? The site seems to have disappeared. Jeff McQueen

The same thing happened to be but I got around it by adjusting the text size to maximum and for some reason it was not covered then.

Is anyone besides Ducati making motorcycles these days? I don't want to sound like a whiner, I read the first fourteen consecutive Duck articles with interest. But where does it end. What percentage of your readers ride these things. How about a bone for us unwashed poor confused cruiser riders who don't know enough to want a Ducati?
