imagine my surprise today when in a moment of dreamingness i googled "seat height ducati 748"

790mm !!!!!!! that's the same as an er5 (which incidentally is a little too tall). cb is 775 and i only had to have a little bit cut out of the seat!

guess what i'm gonna try and persuade hubby to get! (might have to work hard though, he is dead set on an r6. not a black one though the fool !!!!!

(can't see myself EVER selling the nc29, just too much of a lasting relationship building - but if it ever goes pop it is getting a 900 engine in it! can be done apparently, lateshift reminded me recently and i'm sure someone in performance bikes did a special)

It can be done. It's not easy but it's one of the more simple swaps.
When you have to start moving engine mounts, then it stops becoming fun.

And putting over 100bhp through a frame, wheels and brakes designed for about 60bhp then you start breaking things.

Surprisingly I can't actually find any of the fireblade NC29 projects on google. Stupid internet.
