The 1998 MY Ducati 748L Neiman Marcus Limited Edition has, at its heart, a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 748cc, 90-degree V-Twin cylinder desmodromic powerhouse mated to a five-speed manual transmission that can produce a claimed 96 horsepower and 75 Nm of torque.

Only 100 of these machines were ever built, and could have been purchased exclusively through the Neiman Marcus catalog. What set this machine apart from the other models from the Borgo Panigale line-up was its Mercury metallic paint scheme and a carbon fiber front fender and chain guard.
