In 1990, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Ducati 750SS, a sports motorcycle in its third year of production. Without significant modifications, it featured the same technical, performance, and visual specifications as the previous model.
The Ducati Supersport and SS was a series of sports motorcycles that debuted in 1988 to replace the Pantah model and were produced until 2007, when they were replaced by the Ducati Supersport 950 model.
Visually, the 1990 model had factory-installed features, like a full fairing with a medium windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual exhaust system, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.
The bike was manufactured around a steel trellis frame, wearing a 40 mm Marzocchi inverted telescopic fork on the front end and an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear, acting as the bike's suspension system.
The bike's braking power was handled by a single 320 mm disc with a four-piston caliper mounted on the front wheel and a 245 mm rotor tied to a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing optimum braking performance.
As for the power figures, the 1990 Ducati 750SS had at its core a 748cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine managed by two Mikuni carburetors, boasting 66 hp at 8,500 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
With a five-speed manual transmission sending the power to the rear axle through a final chain drive, the bike reached a top speed of 210 kph (130 mph).
