749 or 999? HELP
Maybe a no-brainer question but hope you can opine.
Considering both bikes. Both '05s. Never owned sportsbike. Previously owned MV Brutale 750, BMW K1200R and briefly Monster S4RS (should have kept!). All nakeds. Looking for diff. experience. Told that 749 would be great entry level Duc sportsbike, get confidence. Just test rode 749, great feel and comfortable quickly, although it stalled often (what's up with this?). A few nice 999's available, some similarly priced as 749. Haven't ridden 999 yet. Understand both use same frames. HP/power the only difference? Rideability? Reliability?
Also, when searching, is there any specific thing to look for (good) or to be wary of in either bike?
Thanks, your thoughts/expertise is greatly appreciated!
