Ducati 748R (2002)

The Ducati 748R: a track-focused road bike that embodies the spirit of Italian engineering. By incorporating a new frame and airbox design borrowed from the 996 WSB machine, Ducati’s engineers were able to implement an all-new fuel-injection setup featuring Formula One-style ‘shower’ injectors.

This innovative system, paired with higher lift cams and large valves, catapults the 748R’s engine to 79kW (106bhp) of raw power. The chassis has also been radically overhauled, boasting lightweight Marchesini wheels and fully adjustable Showa suspension for unparalleled handling precision.

Whether carving through a twisty mountain road or pushing the limits on the track, the Ducati 748R delivers an unforgettable riding experience that is nothing short of sublime. Its exceptional balance of power, agility, and refinement makes it one of the most thrilling motorcycles on the market today.
