The Ducati 748 WallpapersThe Ducati 748 was the smaller version of the Ducati 916, an Italian sports motorcycle manufactured by Ducati from 1994 to 2002. It was succeeded by the Ducati 749. Identical in every way to the 916, only the bore and stroke of the engine is different at 88 x 61.5 to create the 748cc that gives the name. The shorter stroke of the engine compared to the 916 gave a much higher rev ceiling of 11,500rpm and the smaller pistons help the engine to spin up quicker.
Some people prefer this more revvy nature of the 748 compared to the outright grunt of the larger engined bikes, and it is true that the 748 feels quite different to ride than the 916, 996 and 998 . Ducati produced several variations of the 748, starting with the basic 748 Biposto meaning twin seat in 1994 and then the 1995-96 748SP and 1996-99 748SPS followed as more powerful options. The SP and SPS engines were in a higher state of tune and also came only as Monoposto meaning single seat, although it was possible to order the base 748 with a monoposto option, and were intended as homologation machines for World Supersport racing. Other extras over the base model included Ohlins rear shock and fully-floating cast iron Brembo brake disks. The engines also came with an oil cooler.
The Ducati 748L, also known as the Neiman Marcus edition, is a limited edition model produced by Ducati Motors. One hundred were produced in 1998 and sold exclusively through the Neiman Marcus catalog. The 748L features Mercury metallic paint, carbon fiber front fender and chain guard.
