Ducati 748 R weight overview
This is neither unusually light nor extremely heavy. For most riders the practical weight question is more about seat height, center of mass and low-speed balance than the scale number alone. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What the weight numbers tell you
Ducati 748 R weight FAQ
How heavy is the Ducati 748 R?
Listed dry weight is 423.3 lb (192 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
Is the Ducati 748 R heavy compared with other Ducati sport bikes?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 83rd weight percentile in its Ducati category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
Does the Ducati 748 R weight change by model year?
Not in the usable weight data on this page. Across the covered 2000-2002 years, the supplied weight figure remains the same where comparable values are available.
How much does the Ducati 748 R fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.49 US gal (17 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 27.9 lb (12.7 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Ducati curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Ducati 748 R with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 603.3 lb (273.6 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
How much horsepower does the Ducati 748 R have per 100 lb?
Where compatible power and weight figures are available, it works out to 25.04 hp per 100 lb. That places it around the 56th percentile within the compatible Ducati sport power-to-weight comparison.
Can I treat the Ducati 748 R dry weight as curb weight?
No. The usable figure is dry weight, so it excludes at least some operating fluids. Dry weight plus the estimated full fuel load is about 451.2 lb (204.7 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
What is the Ducati 748 R torque-to-weight ratio?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 13.07 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
How large is the Ducati 748 R engine for its weight?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 1.77 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Ducati website.
