What are the weaknesses of a Ducati 750SS?
The Ducati 750SS’ brakes are reasonable too. However, everyday riding shows the Ducati 750SS’ weaknesses: vibey at low revs, rock hard (non-adjustable) front suspension, a painful seat and a whole load of false neutrals. Patchy. Despite the Ducati 750SS’ 748cc, it has none of the gusto you’d imagine, given its pedigree.
When did the first Ducati 750SS come out?
This is the latest in a long, long line of Ducati 750SS models which date back to the early 1970s (think Paul Smart).

One for the Ducatisti’s only.
Is the fuel gauge on a Ducati 750SS?
The Ducati 750SS’ big, clear dash is useful, if not top notch: everything’s analogue and there’s no fuel gauge. Handily, both brake and clutch levers are adjustable (but that clutch is heavy). It’s not a pillion-friendly motorcycle and riders need to be tallish for feet to touch down. The fuel injection’s a welcome change on post-1998 models.
How did the Ducati 750 Super Sport get its name?
The name harked back to the round case 1973 Ducati 750 Super Sport, and the 1975 square case 750 and 900 Super Sport. The appellation ‘SS’ was applied only to the later belt drive ( Pantah) based models.
What kind of brakes does a Ducati 750SS have?
