Just traded in my 06 749

[Mati-O]

As u can see I just traded in my 06 749 for a Hypee. Should I have done that? Came with the single Termi carbon exhaust and DP race seat. Anyone else with a 749 do the same. I can't ride it till spring so I have no idea how it handles yet. I need to lower the seat ASAP. Any suggestions.

I had an 06' 749 and sold it an bought a Hyper and haven't looks back. For the street its crazy easier to ride and just down right fun!

At the race track the 749 was a bit more fun I think. Atleast until I learn the foot forward riding style.

I think you will love your Hyper.

Had a 916, traded it for a Hyper. I never would have bought the 916 if I rode the Hyper first.

That said, I just bought a 2003 749S. I missed having a Superbike especially - as stated above - for track days. The Hyper was fun, but the 749 would have been even more fun.

HOWEVER, if I could only have one, I'd probably only have Hyper.

Just my .02

I kinda figured that would be the feeling, I miss her already. The 06 749 was a high maintenance bit#ch thats for sure, it was fun while it lasted. Oh well I see another superbike in the far future though.

Does anyone know if the front fender of a 848/1098 will fit the on the hyper?

Not sure, but I think a Monster front fender might.

When the HELL did you buy a 749??!! and you never told us?
well my butts hurt now.... but now that you have it, and in case your Dad won't let you keep it in the garage, you can keep it in my "BATCAVE" just be sure to leave me the key...... Congrats! & Merry Christimas for you! Aloha Alex

I kinda did the same thing but in a round-about way. Traded in 06 749 and ST3S for 1098R then got a HyperS a few months later. Been riding the Hyper way more than the R. I also regreted not having my 749 for everyday use until I got the hyper.
Had the front and rear dropped 1/4 inch and lower comfort seat, not sure if it made that big a difference since I only put one foot down anyways...
