The smaller brother to the Ducati 916 which had launched in 1994, the 748 followed in 1995. The 916, put simply, had blown the world away. At that time, the prettiest (arguably remaining to this day) most focussed, beautifully designed motorcycle there had ever been, and a significant game changer on all levels, thanks to the genius of it’s designer and creator Massimo Tamburini. With regard to all those superlatives, they equally apply to the 748, and many have said that the smaller engined bike is in many ways a more satisfying machine
30 odd years after it’s launch, any 748/916/996/998 series Ducati, from a Biposto, to an SPS, to an R, remains a thing of beauty, and hugely desirable
This particular bike is relatively price range in today’s terms, with the more exotic versions commanding very significant prices. Being a 2002 model year it has a grey frame and it’s original 3 spoke wheels are finished in silver
It’s extremely clean, very pretty indeed, and remarkably clean and original in terms of it’s condition. Essentially as Ducati intended, and all the better for it
The standard mechanical specification included fully adjustable Showa 43mm dia. BPF front suspension, fully adjustable Showa rear suspension, Gold Brembo 4 piston calipers, 320mm dia. front brake discs, steering damper, quick release fairings and body panels, and a dry clutch (of course !)
Subtle extras fitted include a polished sprocket carrier, polished exhaust heatshield, polished brake/clutch reservoir caps, other sundry polished parts, carbon fibre ignition key shroud, carbon style tank pad and ever useful optimate flylead
Totally fit and healthy, this is an excellent bike that needs nothing at all. All in all, an extremely nice and enjoyable 748 that will always turn heads and create interest around it, and one that should prove to be a reasonable long term investment
