Weight is broadly typical for the category, landing around the 65th percentile in this model-level Ducati comparison.
Which Ducati 750 SS years have different weight specs?

What is the combined Ducati 750 SS and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative wet/running weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 625.3 lb (283.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Ducati 750 SS power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 13.61 hp per 100 lb to 17.3 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 20th percentile within the compatible Ducati sport power-to-weight comparison.
How much heavier is the Ducati 750 SS with a full tank?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 410.1 lb (186 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
How much torque does the Ducati 750 SS have per 100 lb?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 13.65 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
What is the Ducati 750 SS displacement per pound?
