well, I rode the boss's 749 today. It's an 08 with 3500 miles on it. Other than the fact it is totally sweet looking, wow, it is one hell of a machine! Not super fast, but fast enough.Amazing cornering ability. Totally linear torque, ohlin rear shock, brembo brakes. It does everything well. It is, however, like riding on a hot concrete slab. It may be the most uncomfortable thing I have ever ridden. I have to say I am very impressed. I think I may try to borrow it for bike week.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.RIP Marc -
i'd like a 749 if it had a single sided swing arm. but i'd hit it.Please, Just go home, relax, and have a think or two... hell... have as many as you can handle! It'll do all of us some good.

there isn't an 08 749... maybe an 848?
I'd love to have one...As much hp as a 600 sportbike with about 15 more ft/lbs of torque...
