Please note: VINData incorrectly calls this a 2022 model. This is because the 10th digit of the VIN that denotes the bikes year is reused every 30 years.
After the launch of the wildly popular 900SS in 1991, Ducati was looking to capitalize on its success with a more approachable entry model. What resulted was the 750SS, a bike that borrowed its name from the legendary Imola racers of the Paul Smart era but boasted a price tag much more in line with its Japanese competition.
And the badging isn’t the only thing the 750SS inherited from its ancestors; as is typical of Ducati’s smaller, square bore twins, the bike got the parts bin special treatment. Accordingly, it featured an engine based on that found in the Pantah and a tubular trellis frame that was originally designed for its bigger brother. It also incorporated the same Showa rear shock and forks as used on the 900SS, albeit with less adjustability.
As Cycle World found in its period review: “In the 750SS we have a classic, blood-red Ducati possessing all of the virtues its nameplate suggests in a reasonably priced package that is as sure to turn heads as it is to win hearts. In summation, we’d call the Ducati 750 Super Sport a winner.”
This customized 750SS/CR example was built by Miki Hilton of Fast Italian Bikes in Murfreesboro, Tennessee—who is also the lead wrench for the Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Team in MotoAmerica.
This example is VIN: ZDM1NC3M9NB001251.
Since the completion of this custom build, the seller has covered 300 miles. The odometer shows 25,353 miles.
Maintenance:
Per the seller: “As part of the project, the engine was completely torn down and rebuilt. It received a polished crankshaft, all-new bearings, a new clutch pack, 750SS F1 cams, new OEM carbs, and had its electronics system converted to a digital setup using an Elektronik MHP Sachse digital igntion with six different maps. Additionally, the suspension was completely rebuilt front and rear. Only 300 miles have been put on the build since its completion.”
