Ducati 748 S weight FAQ
How much does the Ducati 748 S weigh?
The source data gives 432.1 lb (196 kg) to 445.3 lb (202 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.

Are all Ducati 748 S model years the same weight?
There are year-to-year differences in the supplied data. The earliest covered year is used as the baseline, with later changed values shown separately above.
What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Ducati 748 S?
A full tank works out to about 27.9 lb (12.7 kg) from the listed 4.49 US gal (17 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.

How much heavier will the Ducati 748 S be than its dry weight?
Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 460 lb (208.7 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.
What is the estimated Ducati 748 S weight with a full tank of gas?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 460 lb (208.7 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
How much torque does the Ducati 748 S have per 100 lb?
Available data gives 12.46 lb-ft per 100 lb to 12.63 lb-ft per 100 lb. That ratio helps explain how strong the engine is relative to the bike’s mass, especially at lower speeds.
