Only 5 km from new
2001 Ducati 748 R Series 2
Frame no. ZDMH300AA2B012592
Engine no. ZDM748W4B*003115*

Introduced in 2000, replacing the 748 SPS, the 748 R was built in order to homologate parts which Ducati required for their World Supersport Championship contender. Cams, valves, con-rods, etc were all up-rated and the 996-based engine produced a remarkable 106bhp at 11,000rpm from its 748cc. Other notable features included a slipper clutch, different chassis settings and lightweight Marchesini wheels. For 2001 a second series was introduced, with Öhlins forks and rear shock absorber replacing the previous Showa items, while the frame was lightened and at the same time stiffened by using a carbon fibre airbox. There were also detailed improvements to the engine. Total 748 R production from 1999 to 2001 amounted to 2,610: 1,756 yellow; 854 red.

This machine is one of the desirable 2nd Series, which was limited to 1,500 units, this one being number '643'. This pristine example is presented in effectively 'as new' condition with a mere 5 kilometres recorded. The machine comes with Japanese registration documents and Belgian import document E705 (EU taxes paid). It is quite exceptional to find a virtually unused 748 R in this condition.
