Highlights

Advisory-free MOT valid until September 2027
The vendor reports the bike is in very good condition for its age and runs very smoothly
Low mileage of 30,525 miles, supported by MOT history

The Appeal

Massimo Tamburini's iconic 916 family remains one of the most celebrated designs in motorcycling history, and the 748 S distils that magic into a lighter, higher-revving package. The "S" specification brought track-focused upgrades including TiN-coated Showa forks, Marchesini wheels, and an adjustable steering head, components that elevated the 748 from a capable sportbike into a genuinely focused machine for committed riders.

This 2001 example has covered 30,525 miles and, being UK-registered, sidesteps the complications that can accompany grey-market Ducatis. With the 748 S increasingly recognised as a modern classic in its own right, this presents a straightforward opportunity to acquire one of Ducati's most characterful desmodromic twins.
