I´ve had my ´04 749D for 2 weeks now and just had the 600 mile first service done today. This bike is awesome! Great handling, fast as hell and L twin power! It took me a week to get used to the riding position as it puts a lot of weight on your wrists and you have to use your abs to support your body at speeds lower than about 60 MPH. I love the matte black finish on my bike. It´s so uncommon on a Duc Super Bike.
