Motorcycle Online: First Ride: 2000 Ducati 748 (1356 words) |
 | The 748 was first introduced to the U.S. market in 1997, though not necessarily as the smaller sibling to the 996. |
| Ducati intended for the 748 to be a middleweight twin that looks identical to the 996, revs to the moon and handles as solidly as the bigger-bore Ducati superbike yet costs $4,000 USD less. |
| Where a rider has to be cautious with throttle application on a 996, a 748 rider is able to set the bike into a corner and, as soon as the chassis settles, open the throttle and ride it out of the corner without so much as a hiccup. |

| Both the 998 Testastretta and 748 utilize our race-proven ALS450 trellis frame, superior Brembo brakes and fully adjustable suspension front and rear for no compromise handling and stability. |
| As striking to look at as she is to ride, her style is unmistakable, pure and sensual, seemingly in motion even when at rest. |
| The 748 has garnered praise from racers and press alike: statements like "Motorcycle of the Millennium" and "Stands head and shoulders above the rest" are commonplace for this iconic motorcycle. |
