Ducati chose the renowned Valencia racetrack in Spain as the proving ground for the 749R’s first on-track tests and 2004 Supersport Team Ducati Breil launch.
From February 22nd to 24th Testastretta horsepower will be unleashed in Valencia, while the following week will witness the opening of the 2004 World Superbike and Supersport Championships.
The new 749R completes the Ducati Superbike range and marks Ducati’s return to the World Supersport championship. The bikes that take part in this championship are purely derived from production models. Very few modifications to the chassis and engine are allowed. The 749R was designed with a single purpose: to race on the track. It’s a true racing bike and, with a street legal homologation and plate, it can serve up thrills off-track as well.
