DUCATI 888 Biposto (1993-1994) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati 888 was a sports motorcycle dressed in a full fairing, manufactured from 1991 to 1994 as an upgrade to the Ducati 851, which was the first motorcycle that introduced liquid cooling, electronically controlled fuel injection, and four-valve heads to twin-cylinder engines.

In 1993, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 888 Biposto, a more affordable machine than its 888SP5 sibling, with lower-grade specs but still powerful enough.

In the visual department, the 1993 Ducati 888 Biposto was fitted with standard features, such as three-spoke lightweight wheels, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, a single seat, a full fairing with a small windscreen, and a rectangular headlight.

The bike's handling was achieved by a 43 mm adjustable USD telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear with progressive linkage, delivering excellent handling capabilities.

In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering strong stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 1993 Ducati 888 Biposto had its soul brought to life by an 888cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system in charge, delivering an output power of 104 hp at 9,000 rpm and 80 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
