Paid a visit to Desmotosport today and noticed this poor, neglected little 749GRRR in the back... :'( :'( :'(


It looks depressed...having been unceremoniously replaced by a lighter, faster model.

I think it'll live on as the B bike.

That bike still has some love to give.  1 more round in the 2009 season.

I could finish as high as 4th in 750 superbike in the points and 2nd in Open Twins....  the stars really have to fall into alignment for all that to happen, though!

Good luck man. We're all pulling for ya.

BTW - They also had Matt Green's Desmosedici on the lift and taken apart. Very cool stuff.
