DUCATI 750SS (1991-1992) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Supersport and SS was a series of sports motorcycles in Ducati's range manufactured since 1988 as a replacement model for the Pantah model. The bikes were produced until 2007, when they were replaced by the Ducati Supersport 950 model.

The name was reminiscent of the 1970s Ducati 750 Supersport with the round case and the 1975 square case 750 and 900cc Supersport models. In addition, the maker released a limited edition machine in 1992 named the Superlight.

In 1991, Ducati released the Ducati 750SS model, packing the same specifications as previous models without any significant modification whatsoever.

Packing the same engine as previous models, the 1991 Ducati 750SS boasted 66 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm from a 748cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled power plant.

The power produced by the engine was transferred to a five-speed transmission with a manual dry multi-plate clutch. From there, it was delivered to the rear wheel through a chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a maximum speed of 210 kph (130 mph).

In the suspension department, the bike had a 40 mm Marzocchi inverted telescopic fork on the front end. The rear end was handled by an adjustable Showa shock absorber.

In the braking department, the bike relied on a 320 mm disc with a four-piston caliper stopping the front wheel and a 245 mm rotor tied to a dual-piston caliper handling the rear wheel.
