Mods

Removed stock mirrors (L-mirror as bar-end mirror); Ducati Performance CF windscreen; Gold X-ring chain; MZ4 rear tire

Carberation

Flat spot between 95 - 100 (stock engine); lots of torque at low end

Brakes

The 750 '00 comes with a single front disc - braking is still very good

Handling

over 80, with stock steering, tendency for bar-wobble (recommend steering damper). this only occurs on uneven blacktop where the ripples can be felt even in a car (usually on freeways). Clip-ons will also decrease this effect. Is a monster in the twisties (speed rated 15 - 25 mph).

Comments

If you intend on using the bike for long distance commuting to work, I suggest changing the rear tire to a MZ4 (stock tire is MZ1), as you won't be paying out a lot for tires. Work on the bike is easy to do with a rear & front wheel stand. Not carburated (Y2K1 and newer models are FI). Speeds faster than 85, recommended windscreen to decrease the wind resistance. MPG between 55 - 60 depending on riding style. Excellent bike for under $8K
