After 7 months and over 6k km on my '09 250r (my 2nd 250cc bike) I finally moved up in the cc's. I was originally planning to get a 600cc jap bike but I got a good deal on a highly modded '00 Ducati 748s and I got overwhelmed by the emotion (italian bikes will do that to you). :rolleyes:

Long story short, I got the 748s.

The condition is prestine with only 15,000 km logged, and it just had the regular maintainance 2 weeks before I got it. Might change the windscreen back to the stock one though.

Haven't had a chance to really test it out yet because of the weather here. Stormy as hell! :mad: But I will surely update this thread when I get the chance. :thumbup:

Congrats! Nice looking bike :thumbup:

Congrats on the new bike! I just saw one of these in person, and I gotta say, pictures and movies don't do them justice ;)

(take the stickers off her. She'll thank you by being extra beautiful! :thumbup:)

How modified is highly modified?

Exactly the same reaction I got when I saw it in person!:D I wish I could, I prefer the stock ducati red paint scheme aswell but they aren't stickers. It's painted on the fairings as a Carl Fogarty WSBK replica.

Not sure if it really counts as "highly" modified, but this is the list of the mods done.

- 45mm Twin Carbon Fiber Termignoni Exhausts
- Ohlins steering damper
- Ohlins rear shocks
- iridium windscreen
- Rizoma open clutch cover with carbon fiber trim
- Rizoma gold clutch pressure plate
- kevlar timing belts
- clear led integrated brake/signal lights
- led front signals
- Fender Eliminator
- Aftermarket italia seat
- Carbon fiber front and rear fender
- Carbon fiber airscoops
- Carbon fiber instrument panel
- Carbon fiber tank guard
- Carbon fiber heel exhaust guard
- Extra biposto tail fairing (not really a mod, just an add on)
and maybe some stuff the owner forgot to mention :p hahaha

Thanks man! They sound awesome too :thumbup:

well if it's a replica bike, that's cool! :thumbup:

I didn't even notice all the carbon fiber bits. Looks really great. dang.

Pretty sweet lookin' ride and you are right... there is just something about Italian sport bikes... and sport cars for that matter :thumbup:
