Been riding for a year now and I have a 695 Monster with full termi's which sound wonderful. Just feel like I need to try something else. Love the look/sound of the ducati's but would welcome some advice. Two choices at present, the 749S or the highly rated CBR 600 RR. Everywhere you read, the CBR gets the plaudits but it's not a looker like the 749. Can a CBR sound saucy and what can should you fit to get the best noise.
The weather is coming and I'm taking the bike to Europe this year. Any advice, gratefully rec'd!!!

yes

... and anything else that that is vaguely of interest as you may just find something else really does hit the mark.

Quite. I'm selling my 748S soon (grey one - better than the common ones wink)...

Agreed - best sounding bike I have ever ridden.
