2002 Ducati SS 750 Supersport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2002 Ducati SS 750 Supersport sport motorcycle, Ducati features a 748 cc (45.6 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 64 HP (46.7 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 60 Nm (44.3 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 85.6 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 SS 750 Supersport measures 183 kg (403 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.86 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.
