Ducati Supersport 750 reviews

After spending the last dozen years with used bikes I found this one brand new this year in a Mid-Missouri dealership. I have thoroughly enjoyed the bike and am glad I found it. I have had a 750 Nighthawk and Suzuki GS 750T and they deffinatly had more power, but I don't miss it as this has plenty for me. The handling, the feel and tame rumble of the V-twin are what sets it apart. It runs perfectly although I think it was basically swept around in the showroom for 5 years. I was debating between this and a YZF-600R which I have ridden on quite a bit and really like both. You sacrifice a little clutch ease, power, and comfort with the Duke but you gain the handling, v-twin, and "uniqueness". The sidestand is shaky at best, that is really my only beef. I also think it works over distance but you really need a break per hour, as I took it 400 plus on the second day. If I stretched it to over an hour, pain set in. Show less

I have owned this state-of-the-art machine for only 3 weeks now but I would strongly recommend to anyone who is shopping for Ducati's. Since the first 621 miles servicing, the bike is smooth and handles like a rock at marginally high speeds. The wrists and neck get sore after driving for a while. Cornering is great. Show less

Hey I just saw that no one had reviewed the bike I just bought, so just so you all know, this bike is sweet. I got a killer deal on eBay and after a couple months of ownership I have no regrets. This is my first bike and someone who is 6' 3" might be too tall for this bike but I able to deal with it. It is a sweet bike. I will never get anything other than a Ducati. Show less

It may not have the power of the run of the mill liters, but it does handle better than my R6 and it has just the right amount of torque to pull you out of that maximum lean angle. Not the torture rack that the super bikes are and I can easily ride two up for 400+ miles. In my opinion, there is no match to any bike on the market today. This bike is unparalled in the canyons. It rails corners like it's glued. Show less

I bought the bike with 600 miles, since then I have put 2900 miles on it. I really enjoy riding the Ducati on backroads. On highways it rides smooth with lots of torque to go. I have reached speeds of 120mph and the bike still wants to go faster. Stability is great. The only changes I would do is change the seat to a more comfortable one, reviews suggest the corbin seat. Fast and Nimble... there's not too many Ducati's out there (Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki) are the most ridden sport bikes. You'll know when a Ducati rides by with that deep throaty exhaust.

Simply put, this Italian marvel is a Legend. It isn't for everyone, yet those that have had the distinct pleasure to push it to its unending capabilities know its awesome abilities. She fits me like a glove! I added a set of Remus Pipes and a 180 in the back and she is a piece of incredible canyon destroying machinery. Everyone has a Harley, GSX-R, CBR but only the very few know of and own the charm and beauty of the Ducati 750 Super Sport. When on her I feel like Mike Hailwood on the roads of Man. Ahhhh, to ride a DUC is simply a dream and legendary! And hey, when I am a half mile out, the girlfriend knows to be outside waiting to hop on... the true roar of twin thunder is coming! Show less

I am the very recent owner (11/02/04), of an '05 1000 DS. My last mount was a Ducati 900 SS/FE, a rare and unique bike. The difference in the two bikes however, is amazing. I am first and foremost impressed with the new generation twin-spark, fuel injected engine and its seemingly quantum leap in torque. Good work Ducati. I mean, this thing is incredible! I had a set of Remus carbon cans installed before I took delivery, knowing that the stock exhaust system is quite restrictive and renders the Duc as melodic as a Sears lawn tractor. I believe it liberated about 7 HP, according to the Mechanic. The bike has a definite sport feel, yet behaves in a civil manner, reacting predictably to expansion joints and other road maladies. It is a bit cramped, but that is the nature of this type of bike. I have not noticed the type of power fade I had experienced from my previous Duc, and hope that the Fuel injection has remedied that problem, as it was quite pronounced on my '98 900. This machine exudes character, from the quirky clutch antics to the beautiful clattering of Desmodromic valve actuation, and is a must for someone who has run the Japanese Sport bike gamut and is now ready for the panache that only a Ducati can provide.

The bike has 2k mikes on it so far. I have test driven some of the other bikes brands (new '04s). I can't say that any delivered the same fun-to-drive feeling. I live in a hilly area with lots of winding roads. This bike has been nothing but joy. Bottom line, it looks good and feels good, and is very easy to ride. It is a real confidence booster - it follows the rider commands no matter how tight the curves. Show less

After a long period of indecision between the Ducati Monster and the Kawasaki Z1000 I finally made a decision. At first I wanted the Ducati, then I heard a few ugly things about them, and decided to look elsewhere toward the Z1000. The Z1000 is faster and has a nice array of after market items, but the colors are horrible. The Ducati is slower and less comfortable but the design is superb, and the handling is incredible. It was a tough choice, but I don't regret going with the Ducati. Some people say the engine is underpowered, but I strongly disagree. Low and midrange perform well within, if not surpassing, the region of acceptability. However, it does top out around 120-125mph, so do not expect to keep up with your friend's GSX-R. Then again for what it's worth, I think it's worth a whole lot more than other bikes, and so will the women checking you out as you fly by. Show less

This is the 1st Ducati I have ever owned. I bought my 750SS in 2004 as a leftover from 2000 with 5 miles on it. It is yellow with the half fairing. This bike rocks, the handling is unbelieveable and the look is great. The exhaust note is the best sound in the world, that alone turns heads. Then when people turn to look they wonder what kind of bike it is. don't see many Duc's in my area. People are always asking what kind of bike it is. Duc's are real attention getters and even better in the performance department. I know I will get many years of enjoyment out of this bike and hopefully one day I will get a Ducati Superbike.
