A weekend of changes
Well, my bike ownership has changed rather drastically since Friday morning. I think I've had a moment of madness!!
SOLD: ![]() ![]() He went on eBay yesterday for the full asking price. Please don't hate me. I'll be buying another Monster when funds allow a second bike again. SOLD: ![]() ![]() I couldn't help it!! BOUGHT: ![]() ![]() There were a couple of problems that came up with Jasmine (the 748S) that hadn't been brought to my attention when I bought her in March, and as the dealer was prepared to take her back for almost the same amount as I paid for her even though I'd done 2500 miles in that time, I traded her in yesterday afternoon for a 749S instead. Its a bigger bike with more adjustability (I'm 6'4" for those who haven't met me). Anyway, although I'm no longer a Monster owner, I'll stay on the site and keep pestering people until I get another one. ![]() Last edited by Bodybag; 19-05-2007 at 10:28 AM.. |

It is an awesome bike. I was really chuffed when I got the 748S at the beginning of March but the 749S is a whole different ball game. Its so much easier to ride than the 748S as to make the older bike show its age quite badly!!
The 748S is a superb bike in all respects (except size for me) but the 749S is the perfect Ducati for me at the moment. ![]() As 4 Non Blondes once titled an album: Bigger, Better, Faster, More!! |

What problems did you have with 748 then. The 749 is a good looking bike but I hate the exhaust system from the side. Its too long and doesn't suit. Stunning bike still. My dislikes are jealousy probs as I would own one LOL
Im probs looking to sell 748 as lack of use. |

They were mainly to do with the dealer not being able to locate the service history and then not changing the belts during the pre-delivery service. It had also sprung the obligatory oil leak from the rear cylinder (perhaps its the way I ride em?) so it probably worked out cheaper for them to take it in again than to do the repair work!!
The 748 was a lovely bike but I wasn't prepared to throw all my hard earned at a bike with a missing history. The new one worked out costing me an extra £800 as I lost a little bit on the 748 in trade-in plus the extra cost of the newer (FDSH) bike. |

Probably!
Although I'm hoping when I get the termi's on my 695 I may feel a bit less jealous...! ![]() |
