2001 Ducati 750 Sport Dark FF Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Ducati's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2001 Ducati 750 Sport Dark FF utilizes a 748 cc (45.6 cu in) v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 61 HP (44.5 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 62 Nm (45.7 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 81.6 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the 750 Sport Dark FF measures 183 kg (403 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.33 HP/kg (3 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 210 km/h (130 mph).
