The Ducati 98/98N motorcycle was produced between the years of 1955 and 57. It has a four-stroke, single-cylinder, pushrod engine capable of a total capacity of 48cc or 2.9 cubic inches. The motor used a Weber 14 MFC carburetor and had a 6-volt, 12W generator for ignition and a kick starter. Its top speed is 48km/h or 29.8mph, with a maximum power output of 1.0 kW or 1.35 hp at 5500 rpm.
The bike uses a two-speed transmission and chain for its final drive. The frame is an open-spine pressed steel frame, with a telescopic fork for the front suspension, and non-adjustable twin hydraulic shocks in the rear suspension, which are attached to a swingarm. Both front and rear brakes use drum brakes, and the wheels measure 2.00-18 CEAT.
The motorcycle measures 1700mm in length, 1000mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 1090mm. Its dry weight is 45kg or 99lbs, and its seat height is 840mm or 33.1in. These lightweight features make it advantageous in highly trafficked or urban areas. The Ducati 98 is known for its excellent performance and handling, despite its diminutive size.
