Ducati 748 Biposto
Beautiful original condition
Low mileage / owners
Fully serviced - new belts
Fresh MOT
Probably one of the most iconic motorcycles of modern times - The incredible Ducati 916 - this is its smaller sibling the equally attractive Ducati 748. A fabulous modern classic and a good solid investment.
These are great bikes but like all Ducatis need to be carefully looked after and set up well. Look for low milage and low owners - this has both. This is a really smart example, a small (well) repaired fairing crack is hardly noticable.
From Bike Social
Ducati’s 916 deserves all its iconic status and then some. But for many people who were lucky enough to ride both, the smaller 748 was the better bike to ride. It’s a long-running Ducati trait – the 750SS was more enjoyable than the 900SS and the later 749 was almost the perfect early-noughties sports bike where the 999 was grumpy, difficult to ride and needed to be going a lot faster than we actually went for it to work properly.
The 748 came out a year after the original 916. It’s easy to think of it as a sleeved-down 916, but the changes are much more than that. Bore and stroke are both different, the smaller capacity loses a bit of bottom-end power, but the lighter flywheels allow the 748 engine to rev much faster meaning the lack of bottom end doesn’t really matter.
It feels like a very different bike and, bizarrely, while the 916 feels like a massive, powerful engine has been stuffed into the chassis of a 250, the 748 feels like it has exactly the right engine for the chassis.
