Paper lawyer here by the wonders of the blackberry. Looks a nice bike on this little screen pip. 
Tbh, I was after a lower mileage example but will ponder later when no doubt failed to breathe life into home PC

Looks good. I wouldn't worry about mileage on a cbr 6. I bought mine with 12k on the clock and did 25k on it, never missed a beat. It got nicked in the end
That 1098 is the dogs
I would never buy another Ducati.
Uncomfortable and impracticle.

You buy a Ducati with your heart not your head 
Having said that my Monster is comfortable and practical, and I have the ZX6R for "head" days

I considered getting a monster as my first bike and would consider one in the future.

A guy I ride with often assists with one of the mags when they do multi bike track or road tests .
His comment on the 748 ...........
" It would have gone round the track quicker if i had put it in the back of the transit and drove round "

I had also thought that it would have made quite a good track bike.
ps , my mate is on a road test this week with " Bike " mag , just got a report that he has binned one of the bikes
He is ok , and luckily one side of the bike is still ok for selectively shot photographs

A mate of mine had a 748 and didn't get on with it. He reckoned it needed an odd, aggressive style to get the best out of it that made it hard work on the road.
Mine's great. Thought I'd get an S4 but in the end after riding them I got a 900ie, I think the air cooled engine suits it better, and it's powerful enough for the type of bike it is. I've been surprised by its reliability and build quality. The only hassle is the stupidly expensive belt service.

Bought a bike at last

I know it seems quite a high price, but it has led a very sheltered life indeed
