DUCATI750 Sport I.E. 2000 - 2001

　　In 2001, the Italy-based motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 750 Sport I.E., a sports machine in an agile package suited for a variety of rider-level experiences and different ages.

　　The new 2001 model was sold worldwide and packed several improvements, including a smaller and lighter sealed battery, a half fairing, a gray seat, a tank protector, an integrated brake reservoir and clutch master cylinders, and the lack of air intakes on the fairing.

　　The bike's visual aspect was characterized by standard features, such as three-spoke lightweight cast-aluminum wheels, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a top fairing with a single headlight unit, a small windscreen, and a two-into-two exhaust system with a muffler on each side.

　　The bike was built around a steel frame with a 43 mm inverted Showa fork on the front (from 2002, it changed to 43 mm Marzocchi) and a Sachs Boge shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum handling capabilities.

　　The bike was kept on the road by a 320 mm disc on the front wheel coupled to a dual-piston caliper and a 245 mm disc on the rear tied to a two-piston caliper, providing optimum stopping power.

　　As for the power figures, the 2001 Ducati 750 Sport I.E. took its nerves from a 748cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 64 hp at 8,250 rpm and 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
