In 1994, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 750SS Half Fairing. As its name says, the bike came with a half fairing as opposed to its fully faired sibling, featuring the exact technical and performance specifications.
In the aesthetic department, the 1994 Half Faired model packed standard features, such as a top fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a large, rectangular headlight, a single-piece seat with a passenger grab handle, a two-into-two exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and three-spoke lightweight cast-aluminum wheels.
The bike was built around a steel trellis frame with a 41 mm upside-down Showa telescopic fork on the front, providing 119 mm of travel, and an adjustable Showa shock on the rear with 135 mm of travel, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.
As for the stopping power, the bike packed a 320 mm disc on the front wheel handled by a four-piston caliper and a 245 mm disc on the rear wheel squeezed by a dual-piston caliper, providing optimum braking performance.
As for power, the 1994 Ducati 750SS Half Fairing took its thrust from a 748cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine managed by two Mikuni carburetors, delivering an output power of 66 hp with a peak force at 8,500 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
With a wet weight of 188 kg (416 lbs) and a five-speed gearbox, the bike reached 220 kph (137 mph).
