1. 749R SpedCel Composite tank for sale (James Calandro)

749R and the 999R (above 06) still my dream bikes. I remember when they came out, I parked my 748 next to it. Feeling smart, till I rode it... I bought a 749 not too long after that.

The 999/749 series was never embraced by the majority of the Ducati community but if you ever rode one you knew it was a step up from the 916/+++ group. I had a 2005 999 but found it too much of everything and then got the 2005 749R which was just perfect for me. I liked the fact you were not parched up on top of it like the 916 which I had at the same time. It was also easier to manage the power while leaned over. The only reason that I sold them is at 73 the fetal riding position is something that I just cannot do for protracted amount of time. I like to go on day rides or long weekends and I would be in so much discomfort during the ride and especially after the ride it just made no sense. I just replaced my 899 Panigale with a new edition Supersport S and the difference in riding position is just what I needed. I get to keep the look of the Panigale series without the pain. The 749R was replaced with a KTM 790 Duke which is also a hoot and way more comfortable. Just need to sell of some of the parts from when my R was a track day bike.
