This 748 is an older "stock" version. If you want the better one, get the 748R, the same one me, ZX4, Roy and shoei saw parking beside us long time ago at Forum CoffeeBean.

Think for light track and weekend posing can lah.

Of course TLR can makan it. 748cc V vs 996cc V. Where can fight? Wat I want to know is can the TLR take on the 996 Duc? :p

I know the guy. Chatted with him before. He was looking for a V sports to exchange with his previous Harley. Almost made the trade (me, a HD? AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!).

But now his 748 quite attractive, especially the price. Had seriously considered it. As a poser rider, maybe. As a serious rider and tech head, not for me. Not to mention I'm gonna tear hair maintaining it.

748 is for poser only... the maintainence is hell...

you need very frequent carb syn, morning starting the idle speed vary alot, lots of small problem...

 

if you $$$ to spend, then buy it, if not, jap bike always better in terms of reliability...

its carb or EFI?

Should be FI rite?

Coz if its carb, piangz, will start crying. Normally, the rule is big-bore carb bikes above 400cc are damn near impossible to tune. Sync can but tuning will cause premature hair-loss.

hey, i saw the video...its a ducati 916 manz...not a 748 leh...

 

anyway, TLR handling really seems quite jialat...that guy keep scolding f***...

The TLR needs to be taken by the scruff of the neck and pushed down hard... it's heavy and braking in a turn, the bike wants to stand up.

Not the best handling bike but OK lah... unless u can ride it 10/10.

That's why the bugger in the video kept running wide.. late and corner braking.

I sometimes (hmmm..many times) over-estimate my ability when entering a corner... so gotta scrub off speed in the bend and apply brakes mostly rear and front in desperate cases and that causes the bike to straighten up... ie; stand up... so it runs wide.

I went off into the grass at least twice in PG when I first (and only time so far) took it to the track; and I was soooo fast... even the spectators were overtaking me walking around the pit lane HAR HAR HAR

heh heh heh "stand up" not on one wheel unfortunately :cheeky:

i can't even control the tiller properly, even though i set the front preload and rebound the same but it seems to bounce differently when i'm cornering....damned......time to change to busa forks.....hehe....
