I have been active for many years on another forum ,, and playing with bikes for 53 years i own 3 Ducatis and some other bikes all my Ducatis are long term bikes i have owned for over 20 years .I do all my own repairs and servicing , The s4 is kept in Thailand for the winter the M750 and 750ss arein UK ... I have toured much of SEA on the S4 Thailand, malaysia, laos and Combodia , even Burma a bit ... The M750 has been around Europe ...some photos below
The only yellow bike I’ve ever owned blew up in the outside lane of the m25 on me. Never again. Welcome Jerry.
I had a yellow one once. I was that guy in your rearview mirror. I'm truly sorry and it will never happen again.
thats been all ove rEurope a few times lots of mods to engine , ohlins rear shock , Adreani front suspension
my S4 is still red , lots of mods to engine now 117hp up from 101hp, Ohlins rear 996 forks in front with ktech valves and 8.5nm springs ,,,i have done 40k miles around Thgailand and neighbouring countries including some offroading in the jungle LOL ,, not reccomended ,,, she is an awesome machine ,,,
i also had a low mileage yellow one, it wasn't as quick as earlier 750 Ducatis i'd owned but i put it down to running in - do you think it's possible that it was the colour all along?
The weird thing is that the 750ss from 1991 has completely standard non adjustable original showa forks and original sachs rear shock ,, both rebuilt and refurbed but not modified ,, and yet the handling and suspension accuracy and comfort is better than any other ducati I have ever ridden even ones with latest electronic suspension or Ohlines etc ,, So Ducati could get it right from the factory when they wanted to!!!!!!!! without fancy kit or overfirm springs and damping that plague many Ducatis as standard
Nope ,, mine can challenge 900s even though it only has a 5 speed box ,, my mates with BMW 1000rr and Panigalis and latest V4 Ducatis never get away from me for long on the m750 , the S4 is out in thailand and is actually faster than my 2022 Kawasaki Z900 , may be because its 25 kg lighter ??? ,,,
apologies Jerry, you couldn't possibly know that I was joking as you haven't got to know me or any of the other others yet. A very "loose' but well maintained 750 will definitely give the average 900 a run for its money, but a lot of of this is down to the pilot's use of gear changes etc obviously.
