542 miles from new
2006 Ducati 749 S
Registration no. GX55 HLZ
Frame no. ZDMH500AD3B004523
Engine no. ZDM749W4B000468

Alongside its iconic 916 superbike, Ducati offered a 'junior' version – the 748 – and this policy continued following the introduction of the 999 and 749 in 2002/2003. The 749 retained the 58.8mm stroke of the 999 but with a narrower (90mm) bore, and the smaller Testastretta engine incorporated numerous other differences; the chassis, though, was identical to the 999's. Dark and 749 S models joined the line-up in 2004 together with the limited edition 749 R.

Purchased new by our vendor, this 749 S has been 'on the road' for three summers only, covering a mere 542 miles in the 18-plus years since it left the factory. The Dream Machine 'works replica' paintwork was applied when the bike was new (the minor chips to the paintwork have been incurred moving the bike around the garage). Ducati specialists Cornerspeed have carried out two belt replacements and serviced the bike during those three years, and report no issues with the engine or transmission. Cornerspeed last serviced and MoT'd the Ducati on 6th September 2023 and their bill for £1,056 is on file. Minor servicing, etc has been carried out by a dealer our vendor has used for some 48 years. All invoices and MoT certificates are available and the machine also comes with a V5C document.
