Ducati file

The 750SS in 1994-95 continued the classic 900SS styling with a lattice frame, Showa suspension and Brembo brakes, but with the smaller 748 cc twin. Period testers called it flexible and likeable, with a flat spot near 5000 rpm, a tall first gear and non-adjustable forks to save cost. It was a relaxed, upright all-rounder rather than a hard-edged sports bike.
