NEW MOTORBIKE REVIEW - DUCATI 749/999 RANGE

DUKING IT OUT

* What Are They All About?
You can get faster bikes than Ducatis and you can buy more expensive bikes if you’re that way inclined but try as you might, you’ll be hard pushed to buy anything sexier than these Italian works of mechanical art. Although they may not be quite as beautiful as the iconic 916 and 748 generation, this generation of Ducati sportsters is still capable of dropping the odd jaw.

Three models of each bike are available, the entry level, a more focused S variant and then a no holds barred R model. All are about an almost telepathic liaison between rider and machine and offer a more intimate feel than their closest Japanese or German counterparts. Buying an Italian bike demands a different mindset. Alter your perspective and you probably won’t ever want to go back to the generic Japanese ‘GSFXBCBR-11000RRR-1’ again. Welcome to a higher plane of consciousness.

* What Do They Cost?
Here comes the sticky bit. When you measure these Ducatis on the basis of bhp per pound, they don’t stack up. There’s no other way of saying it but then you’ll get more bhp per pound from a Kia Rio than you will from a Lamborghini Murcielago. What would you rather have? Exactly.

With the 749 series, you can start with the basic dark version at £7,995 with the regulation model costing £8,795. Move up a grade in performance to the 749S and you’ll need to stump up £9,795 or else, you can really play at being Loris Capirossi with the 749R, priced at a hefty £13,995. The R and S are rated at Group 17 by Norwich Union with the more cooking models falling into Group 16. Check your premium before you take the plunge.
Moving on up to the 999s, the base model costs £11,250 while the S tacks another couple of grand onto that ticket. If money is not an option and weekend flights down to Paul Ricard are your thing, £19,995 will buy you the Ducati 999R, just about the closest thing to a factory bike this side of Ducati’s stunning £37,5000 Desmosedici RR GP replica.

* How Do They Handle?
The trick to riding a Ducati 749 or 999 quickly is to forget everything you thought you knew about riding road bikes and be prepared to relearn. Riding one of these is all about utilising the bike’s keen turn-in and gobs of torque. Despite the Ducati 999 weighing in at a chubby 199kg it feels like a typical 600 due to a low centre of gravity that really gives it great flickability through rapid corners. Get it set in a bend though and it feels solid.

The big vee twin sounds great when you rev it to the redline although such are its torque characteristics that you’ll make indecent progress even when shortshifting up through the box. The slipper clutch of the R models takes a bit of getting used to, mind. The gearbox action is slick and light on the standard bike and generally unobstreperous, although it rewards a consistent action. Dilly dally with it and it’s possible to find a rather embarrassing false neutral. Build quality on this bike seems a lot better than older Ducati models, although it’s worth mentioning that the mirrors are utterly useless.

* Verdict
To ride one is to want one. If you can afford it, do it. It’ll be something worth telling the grandchildren one day.

Bought new 749s version after test riding the standard 749. In short, a beautiful looking bike, and sounds great if you can afford the Termis however I've never ridden such an uncomfortable bike as this duke!

The mirrors are useless and you literally need to take a hand off the bars to use whichever one you're looking in; I don't have to tell you this isn't the safest procedure to see if you're being tailed by the law!

I rode less than a thousand miles on it before I got rid. Because I'm short I had major trouble even flicking the stand down because it was so far back, this lead to dodgy dismounts and I swear I would've dropped it had I owned in longer.

The thing did handle execellenty and around town, because it is such a narrow bike it gets everywhere quick. The stiff clutch however will have your left hand aching after just a little use around town.

The electrics were shocking, the bike would regulary run on after the keys were taken out and on start up would sometime rev up and down the clock for a few seconds before it settled down. The garage said this is normal!!

I love the Ducati brand, and as a race / track bike I'd put this ride high up. As a day-to-day mount i'd have to mark her down (apart from when she was parked up as looking at her was a beautiful experience!) Nearly every part the bike was a work of art and could've been framed and placed on the wall, the build quality was wonderful.

All in all - an amazing looking and amazing handling bike but an uncomfortable one.

Bought this in exchange for Africa Twin and man what a change. Holy shit the first day I headed down a windy safe road and let her over on the bends, it cornered on rails. Maybe all sports bikes are this good - I don't know. I got the red colour scheme as it didn't re sell with yellow so I'm lucky. The second trip I started and idled it for about a minute and the engine management light came on - Shit I thought, A phone call later The Ducati man assured me that the computer is very sensitive so no worries since. Just a painful grin every time I fire it up and hit the open road. Its amazing really. Like the Africa Twin took me and my wife all over Southern and Northern Europe and not a whistle out of it. I expect good use for fun as its only for 200 mile trips and the missus has to stretch. We're not 24 anymore. I agree with another dude who said its a future classic. Have to agree. Check the tail end even - Honda not in the same ball park. In fact all other bike design copy but fail to really impress. Don't buy a new one unless you got the dosh. And you'll have to run it in. Buy a pampered one and let her rip. Fox

Bought new, 3200 miles, ridden in storms and sun, never missed a beat. Pussy cat to ride until speed needed, and although 6'2" I don't find it too much of a pain in town for short periods. Build quality good to excellent, fuel con excellent in normal riding, likes a drink when hooning. Great power delivery from v twin, but watch your licence, it's that easy! If you're considering one, do it, look after it and you'll not want to part with it. First service at 12 months was
