1995 Ducati 748 Biposto Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 1995 Ducati 748 Biposto sport motorcycle, Ducati utilizes a 748 cc (45.6 cu in) v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 98 HP (71.5 kW) at 11,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 131 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the 748 Biposto measures 200 kg (441 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.49 HP/kg (2.04 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
