DUCATI748 Biposto 2000 - 2001

　　The Ducati 748 was a sports machine dressed in a full fairing that debuted in 1994 as a smaller displacement version of the Ducati 916. The bike continued production until 2002, when it was replaced by the 2003 Ducati 749.

　　In 2000, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Ducati 748 Biposto, a sports machine that featured several improvements and modifications as opposed to its previous embodiments.

　　The base model was also named 748E and was available as a biposto or monoposo (a single seat or dual seat), packing three-spoke gold-finished wheels and frame, replaced the Dzus fasteners on the fairing with regular ones, a revised steering head angle, and a Sachs rear shock absorber.

　　The bike packed standard features in the visual department, such as a full bodywork with a small windscreen, a dual headlight system, a single or dual seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, and a single-sided swingarm.

　　Underneath its fairing, the 2000 Ducati 748 Biposto had installed a 748cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 96 hp at 11,000 rpm and 75 Nm (55 lb-ft) torque at 8,700 rpm.

　　In the braking department, the bike packed two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering reliable stopping power.
