2003 Ducati 749 Motorcycle reviews

This is definitively the best Ducati I ever owned (and I owned a few :-)). Rode 10.000 km on it. Not one problem!! This bike is so easy to ride. It's extremely stable. Leaning angles?? I have to buy new knee sliders every month. It's fast enough for me. It will never give you unpleasant supprises because of uncontrolable power. Because the bike is extremely strong (torque) too it's very easy for the average rider (like me) to pull out of corners unbeatably fast. And the sound.....I have a Termignoni racing kit on it and an open clutch cover.. It's a symphony (in red) although the basses are a bit less then in a 998. Show less

First off I should say that 5 starts doesn't do this bike justice. If I could choose more stars I would. I just picked up the bike on saturday(8/16/03) and within 24 hours I have already but closed to 400 miles on it. I did do one canyon run on it and it was a dream. It is amazing how the bike feels like it was meant to be in a corner. The bike is so stable while leaned in a corner and the torque out of a corner is perfect for me too. The only thing I could say was a very slight negative was when I was bringing the bike home from the dealer and I sat in a little bit of traffic the seat got extremely hot. But I will tell you that I quickly forgot about that once the traffic cleared. I will write more once this awsome machine is broken in. don't think twice about buy one for yourself. Show less
