The Ducati 750 Super Sport: a four-stroke twin-cylinder powerhouse that embodies the essence of Italian engineering.
This latest iteration in the storied lineage of 750SS models boasts an array of technological advancements, including fuel injection and a refined DOHC design with desmodromic valve actuation. The result is a motorcycle that exudes sportsmanship through its forward seating position, angled handlebars, and stable cornering dynamics. When pushed to the limit, the Ducati 750 Super Sport reveals its true potential.
However, everyday riding reveals a different story: the engine’s tendency to vibrate at low revs, a rock-hard front suspension, and an uncomfortable seat all contribute to a less-than-ideal experience. Furthermore, the motorcycle’s lack of gusto above 8,000rpm is disappointing, given its pedigree.
Despite these drawbacks, there’s a theory that high-mileage Ducati 750SS models actually suffer less from mechanical issues, although maintenance costs can be steep.
Ultimately, the Ducati 750 Super Sport remains an acquired taste, one that rewards dedicated riders with its unique blend of character and performance, but may not provide enough reward for casual enthusiasts.
