I will take some more pictures later but here is one.

I have owned it for about 2 weeks now.

2000 Ducati 748
13,xxx miles.

Pretty close to mint!




I'm in love...

Ohhhhh you bastard. So jealous.

Hopefully that will be my next bike, too.

I see you're in MJ, we should hook up sometime and ride

Congrats on the buy! (lucky SOB)

i dont know about all that, but she is clean though.

although, with them arrow cans on it, she may be the best sounding Duc on the board.

i think we are in agreement though although it seems we may be making contradictory statements. so what do you say, agree to agree?

Tamburini's design is classic, and will go down in history...

Best start looking for that 1994 916 that someone squirreled away in the garage, either that or a RS 998

i dont think it will be as hard for me to find the bike as it would be for me to find the funding to buy one. i need to start looking around laguna and newport for some sugar mommas. daddy needs some toys.

EDIT: and i think i would rather have a 748R rather than the 916(unless it were the SPS).

although the 749/999 comes in a close second though. specially the dark edition.

That's my favorite headlight config on the duc's. I hate the new fish eyes... Don't really care for the red pass saddle. I'd go back to a black one but thats just meh.

Appreciate all the comments and compliments!

Now I have to get a nice helmet. I'm borrowing my friends HJC right now and it actually matches but I want a Shoei like i used to have or something nice...

Any for sale?

I like the red seat, makes it look kinda like a mono.

And yes, it's better-looking than my Duc. But I still like 749/999 better.

I think the red seat gives it a little "character".

It seems to flow. I'll admit, I was iffy about the seat. It grew on me though.


And no this isn't my first bike. Last year I bought a 94 cbr 600 with 19,xxx on it and rode it til this winter with like 29,xxx on it til my best friend wrecked it


Learned a pretty good life lesson don't ya think?


Can't complain he bought the bike from me for what I had in it. Plus I lived with him and his parents for a while rent free so I can't complain a bit!

Except an angry titmouse. I think the stacked lights just looks plain silly.

I agree.

Looks like some kind of mix of a dinosaur/fish.
