2000 DUCATI SUPERBIKE 748
Derived
from racing bikes that have been consistently winning WSB championships since
WSB began, the first Ducati Superbike, the 851, was launched in 1987, this bike
was followed with the 888, 916, 748 and the 996. The 916 won several worldwide awards including 4
“Motorcycle of the Year” awards from MCN magazine.
The 996 replaced the 916 in 1998. An
entry into the legend of Italian motorcycling racing, an aggressive, high
performance and beautifully designed machines, closely derived from Ducati’s
currently competing in the WSB. Aimed
at purists who want everything from a bike with its compact design and slim
silhouette to provide superior handling at speeds up to 170 mph. Combines advanced thermodynamics of 4-valve per cylinder with
unsurpassed efficiency of desmodromic valve system.
