DUCATI 750SS (1992-1993) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1992, the Italian bike maker launched the Ducati 750SS, a sports motorcycle dressed in a full fairing, unlike its half-faired sister of the same year. The bike was agile and offered a comfortable riding position complemented by crispy performance.

In the visual department, the motorcycle had installed standard features, such as a full fairing with a rectangular headlight, a medium windscreen, a one-piece double seat with a passenger grab rail, a twin exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.

All bits and pieces were mounted on a steel trellis frame, including the 41 mm inverted Showa fork on the front that handled the front suspension and the adjustable Showas shock on the rear that took care of the rear suspension.

The bike's three-spoke alloy wheels were fitted with a 320 mm brake disc on the front coupled to a four-piston caliper. The rear wheel was handled by a 245 mm brake disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper.

The 1992 Ducati 750SS took its muscles from a 748cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine managed by two Mikuni carburetors. As for the power figures, the bike developed 66 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

With a wet weight of 188 kp (416 lbs), a five-speed manual transmission, a wet multi-plate clutch, and a final chain drive, the bike reached a top speed of 210 kph (130 mph).
