DUCATI 748S (2002-2003) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati 748S was a sports bike that came as an intermediate model, rolling on five-spoke grey-finished wheels that matched the frame and retaining the adjustable steering head previously used on earlier models.

In 2002, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 748S, a fully faired sports motorcycle with better performance than the base model. Also, in 2002, Ducati launched a limited edition 748S Titanium Gray.

The 2002 Ducati 748S Titanium Grey was made in less than 20 units and was also known as Senna (not officially). It packed the same components as the standard S version but featured a flat grey color scheme, grey frame, and red-finished Marchesini wheels. The bike also came in biposto and monoposto versions.

The 2002 Ducati 748S was fitted with standard features, such as a full fairing with a dual headlight system, a small windscreen, a single seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and five-spoke wheels.

As for the power figures, the bike had installed a 748cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 96 hp with a peak force at 10,900 rpm and 75 Nm (55 lb-ft) torque at 8,700 rpm.

The bike's power was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically-controlled dry multi-plate clutch and a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 250 kph (155 mph).
