DUCATI 750SS Half Fairing (1995-1996) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1995, the Italian motorcycle maker offered the Ducati 750SS Half Fairing alongside the base model. This sports motorcycle shared the same technical and performance specifications as the standard version, except for a half fairing as opposed to the fully faired Ducati 750SS.

Their name harked back to the 1970s Ducati 750 Supersport with the round case and the 1975 square case 750 and 900cc Supersport models. It debuted in 1988 as a replacement for the Pantah model and was produced until 2007, when it was replaced by the Ducati Supersport 950 model.

Visually, the 1995 model had installed standard fittings, such as a single-piece seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual exhaust system, three-spoke lightweight cast-aluminum wheels, a top fairing, a square headlight, and a medium-sized windscreen.

Like previous models, the 1995 Half Faired motorcycle was built around a steel trellis frame holding everything together, including the 41 mm Showa upside-down fork fitted on the front and the adjustable Showa shock absorber mounted on the rear.

At its core, the 1995 Ducati 750SS Half Fairing had installed a 748cc four-stroke V-twin

air-cooled engine with two Mikuni carburetors fueling the pistons, delivering 66 hp at 8,500 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

As for the braking performance, the bike's 17-inch wheels packed a 320 mm disc on the front coupled to a four-piston caliper and a 245 mm disc on the rear, engaged by a dual-piston caliper.
