900 Superlight

1993 Ducati 900 Superlight Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Ducati's motorcycle platform, the 1993 Ducati 900 Superlight relies on a 904 cc (55.2 cu in) v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 78 HP (56.9 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 82.4 Nm (60.8 lb-ft) at 6,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 86.3 HP per liter and a 600 rpm working window between peak torque (6,400 rpm) and peak power (7,000 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 900 Superlight measures 179 kg (395 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.44 HP/kg (2.29 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 17.5-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
