DUCATI 750SS (1994-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1994, the Italian maker launched the Ducati 750SS, a sports motorcycle part of the Supersport series in Ducati's range. The bike debuted in 1988 as a replacement model for the Ducati Pantah and was produced until 2007, when it was replaced by the Ducati Supersport 950.

It was a smaller version of the 900SS model, packing standard features, including a full fairing with a rectangular headlight on the front, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and three-spoke lightweight wheels.

As with previous models, the 1994 motorcycle packed the same suspension system, comprising a 41 mm Showa upside-down telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Showa shock on the rear, bolted to a steel trellis frame.

Also, the braking system was retained from previous machines, packing a single 320 mm rotor on the front wheel engaged by a four-piston caliper and a 245 mm rotor on the rear, squeezed by a dual-piston caliper.

Underneath its clothes, the 1994 Ducati 750SS was hiding a 748cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with two Mikuni carburetors sending fuel to the pistons, delivering 66 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

All the power produced by the engine was transferred to a five-speed gearbox linked to the rear wheel through a chain drive, pushing the machine to 220 kph (137 mph).
