I don't know if the guys at Duc NYC could find one but go to your nearest Duc dealer and ask about one. They're not making them this year (as you know) so dealers are trying to ditch them (as is Ducati NA). They were definitely being let go for a lot lower than MSRP. Unfortunately, the longer you wait, the less likely you are to get one. Not saying you need to hurry for that, just that's probably your best deal (or an RC51) if you can find it.

They dropped the 749 because the 999 is going away thanks to the 1098 and it doesn't make sense to support two product lines (even though they have in the past - 998/999). I'm guessing there'll be a 848 in '08 or '09. The only 999/749 style bike selling as an '07 bike is worldwide is the 999s Team USA: http://www.ducati.com/od/ducatinorth...tml?model=1521.

ES, are duc's hard to work on? That's another thing to consider.

The only thing a competent person may have issues with is the belt timing. That requires special tools. A friend of mine (isn't a mechanic) does everything but that and takes it to his local dealer and they do it for $45. So on top of parts and oil, he's paying $45 to service his 749. Not bad really. If you get all the shims and everything you're good to go. Just make sure you follow the required service items and get in good with your local mechanic. That way you can do all the bits you want and take it to them for the rest and you've got a totally valid service.

BTW read people read!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hondas promotions are POOP!

yes they look good.. "$39 for 24mo" or "$149 for 60mo" but if you read into it you are paying almsot 12% on the loan amount .. that is fucking stupid "149 monthly payment and 11.9%" and "39 monthly payment and 11.9%"
why dont you people read?!?!? this is why there are so many idionts with bikes... Yes i said idiots inmore ways than one. They make bikes to easy to get by offering these promos (if you want to call them that) and approving EVERYONE if not for the promo rate of 12% than for even more % and these momos dont even read the fine print and end up paying like 15K for a 600cc bike..

a good promo is 3.9% (my first yami i got at a promo rate of 2.9% for 12 months.. no that is a promo) or 6 months no interest or something along those lines.. 12% DAMN i cant believe they have the balls to call it a promo... and i cant believ even more people buy into it..
shame fucking shame...
