DUCATI 750SS I.E. (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2000, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Ducati 750SS I.E., a half or fully dressed sports motorcycle. The bike featured a fuel injected engine and delivered slightly more power than the previous models.

In the visual department, the motorcycle packed standard features, such as a half or full fairing with a single headlight unit, a small windscreen, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, a one-piece double seat with a pillion grab handle, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm fully adjustable Showa inverted fork on the front, providing 120 mm of travel, and an adjustable Sachs Boge shock absorber on the rear, delivering 136 mm of travel.

In the braking department, the machine was fitted with a Brembo braking system, comprised of two 320 mm discs on the front wheel engaged by four-piston calipers and a 245 mm disc on the rear wheel squeezed by a dual-piston caliper.

The 2000 Ducati 750SS I.E. had its soul brought to life by a 748cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine managed by a fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 64 hp with a peak force at 8,250 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The power was transferred to a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and redirected to the rear wheel via a final chain drive.
