Weight 750 S vs. 750 SS

Hi there. I have a 'lil question. Why is there such a difference of weight between the 750 Sport (dry weight 195 kg) and the 750 SS (dry weight 173 kg). How did they manage to gain 22 kilos on bikes which are nearly identical ? I think the wheels are lighter on the SS, but how much, and apart from t...

Re: A 750 Sport from 1989

I'm not sure I quite understand the modifications to the frame, as from the pictures. If you look at the first photo, right under the Ducati logo on the tank, you'll see that there are two diagonal bars instead of one. This transformation was already done when I purvchased the bike, and I already h...

A 750 Sport from 1989

Greetings from Brussels, Belgium. Thank you very much for this forum which is a goldmine of useful information. May I introduce you to my 750 S from 1989. My other bikes are a cafe-racer based on a Guzzi 1000 Strada of 1994 and another cafe-racer made of a 650 Cagiva Allazzura. I bought the 750 two ...
