  - Reliable Bike
A perfect entry model to the Ducati Superbike family, the 749 Dark stands out with its totally black coloring giving it a compact and aggressive look. Ducati’s race-inspired, tubular trellis frame is matched with a front Showa fork and fully-adjustable rear shock absorber that result in confidence-inspiring and precise road holding.

The Testastretta technology that dominates the Superbike Championship is a feature common to both the 749 Dark and 999. The sophisticated engine design results in improved torque and extremely fluid power delivery.

With its short-stroke design and further innovations that extend to the very heart of the motor, the 749 is never short on power, producing 108 HP at 10,000 rpm and 59 ft-lbs torque at 8,500 rpm.

Customize your new Superbike with Ducati accessories. Working closely with R&D; and the Corse race team, Ducati builds motorcycle accessories that let owners create their own Dream Bikes. With a passion for design innovation and new materials, Ducati itself has become the industry reference point for the finest, custom Ducati accessories available.
