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

In 1992, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 750SS Half Fairing, a motorcycle that combined supersport performance and wind protection with a naked machine's comfortable riding position and agility.

It came with the same standard features as the base model, including a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, blacked-out three-spoke aluminum wheels, and a half fairing instead of a full unit.

The bike's steel trellis frame offered mounting points for a 41 mm inverted Showa telescopic fork on the front end and an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum handling capabilities.

In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 320 mm disc engaged by a four-piston caliper on the front and a 245 mm rotor with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.

The 1991 Ducati 750SS Half Fairing had installed a 748cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine at its core, managed by two Mikuni carburetors. As for the power figures, the engine boasted 66 hp with a peak force at 8,500 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

The bike's 188 kp (416 lbs) wet weight, a five-speed manual transmission, and a final chain drive pushed the bike to a top speed of 210 kph (130 mph).
