The “R” model of the 749 was heavily upgraded with the factory, with extensive engine work (titanium valves/valve guides/connecting rods, upgraded cams, magnesium head covers, and carbon fiber belt covers), Ohlins suspension front/rear/steering stabilizer, slipper clutch, 10-spoke Marchesini forged aluminum wheels, and a larger fuel tank (4.8 gallons).
Built by Ezikiel Dacanay, this stripped down custom 749R was previously profiled in a wonderful feature on Pipeburn. It has evolved slightly in the 7 years since that story.
This example (VIN: ZDM1UB3T55B009304) is 749R #63. The seller (our friend Randy at BellissiMoto) acquired it as part of a trade from a client who purchased it here on Iconic Motorbikes two years ago.
The odometer shows 8,494 miles.
Modifications:
Power Commander III, blue SAMCO hoses, fork mounted turn signals.
K&N air filter, custom 2-1 exhaust with reverse cone muffler.
