GTD, if you ever participate in Flashchat you'll think you're on a bike forum when Key, Flav, Reg, Luma and I get going.

Your R may be more trick than my 748SP.

**Kollektor** · 08-14-2007, 12:20 AM

PCIII
Intrinsic triple
GPR damper
Carbon bits
Steel braided lines
Woodcraft covers
F-Sliders & SA spools

Next upgrades: shorty levers, Wave rotors, new mapping, new gearing. Will try to post pics sometime...

Will trade for a new 675

**Pugwash** · 08-14-2007, 12:45 AM

Ok, I found an old pic of my 748:

**Keyhole** · 08-14-2007, 12:48 AM

Great ride flip! I have an 02 R1 as well...blue/white. Love those champion colors though

**gtd** · 08-14-2007, 12:54 AM

Great 748 pugwash.... I want a 999 for myself lol!
Here's a pic of my 02 R6 (sorry, pic is from 2005)

The 916/996/998 (same silhouette as my 748) is a better-looking bike than the 999 yet just as fun to ride. The 748 handles even better.

You may notice mine is a little front-biased. Loads of weight over the front wheel (with carbon mudguard for low unsprung front weight) for razor-sharp high-cornerspeed handling. It's hard work under heavy braking because of this, but damn, does it handle.

You guys with your big fours will chew me up on the straights, but I'll own you on the corners.

True True, the R6's are great on straights, first acceleration (0-60) and I've proven it lol.... But yes, you're right the 748 handles much better because of the design intent. By the way, I've always loved italian engineering and the creativity of Ducati.

**Guest1** · 08-14-2007, 02:23 AM

Hmm, I think were going to need a bike forum in here pretty soon to accomodate all you bikers....

**razerreg** · 08-14-2007, 03:19 AM

i wonder who is piloting the 1k honda in my av

dam i miss that bike!

Nice one, Sir. Shake, rattle 'n' roll. Got to love Ducs. Just don't have the patience for the Desmo valve adjustments! First time the wife heard a Duc, she said, "What's wrong with that bike? It sounds like it's falling apart!"

The dry clutch makes more rattles on this one.

**FLIP954RR** · 08-14-2007, 12:55 PM

Great bike Pug-always liked that design better than the new one. You are right-that bike handles like its on rails-one of the guys I used to ride with had one.

Hey Key-post up a pic of your bike-our year R1s IMO-the sexiest out of all of the R1s!

Again-THANKS for the kind words guys!!

and yes-we should have a small motorcycle forum here
