DUCATI 750SS Half Fairing (1993-1994) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1993, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 750SS Half Fairing alongside the base model. The bike packed the same features as the standard model, except in the visual department, being equipped with a half fairing.

The bike's aesthetic was represented by standard features, including a half fairing with a rectangular headlight and a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and lightweight aluminum three-spoke wheels.

The bike rode on 17-inch wheels and Dunlop Sportmax Radial tires, fitted with a 320 mm disc coupled to a four-piston caliper on the front and a 245 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear.

The steel trellis frame was softened by a 41 mm upside-down Showa telescopic fork on the front, providing 119 mm wheel travel and an adjustable Showa shock on the rear with 135 mm of travel.

As for performance, the 1993 Ducati 750SS Half Fairing packed a 748cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank. Two Mikuni carburetors delivered fuel to the pistons, boasting 66 hp with maximum power at 8,500 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

Paired to the engine, a five-speed manual transmission sucked the power out of the generator, sending it to the rear end through a final chain drive, achieving a top speed of 210 kph (130 mph).
