After the classic 750GT of the 70s, Ducati looked to evolve with a simpler engine. They ended up with the first ‘square case’ bevel twin: the 860 GT.
Just a few years later, they released the much improved 900 SD Darmah.
By 1981, the SD Darmah featured Brembo brakes, FPS aluminum wheels, a dual seat with more padding, Bosch ignition, Silentium exhaust, standard electric start, and Marzocchi suspension.
Manufactured in May of 1980, this example is VIN: ZDMAD963XBB952255. The seller acquired it three years ago from a private party.
During his ownership, the seller has covered roughly 1,500 miles. The odometer shows 24,208 miles.
Modifications: 5/31 Update: The seller notes that this bike has bene upgraded with Ohlins shocks. Here’s a photo from the Quail Motorcycle Gathering two weeks ago.
