Description

Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 1995 Ducati 900SS/SP #265. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

In this piece on Cycle World, Peter Egan says that this 900SS is “the used motorcycle you need” and notes that “they made perfectly comfortable long-­distance touring bikes, but on ­winding roads through the Black Hills, they metamorphosed back into sportbikes of deep finesse, with killer, real-world midrange and light, intuitive handling.”

Mikuni carbs fed the air-cooled 904cc air/oil cooled V-Twin which was good for just under 80 horsepower. Combined with a dry weight of 414 pounds and classic Ducati styling, the 900SS was quite the commercial success – almost 28k of them were sold over a seven year run.

Befitting the Bologna-based motorcycle company, the 900SS was offered in a limited ‘Sport Production’ trim. Beyond the scarcity of the motorcycle, the SP model was offered with a larger rear wheel (1-inch to be exact), fully-adjustable suspension, carbon fiber accents throughout, and floating brake rotors.

Manufactured June 1994, this example is VIN: ZDM1LC4M1SB015841. The seller purchased this motorcycle one year ago from a private party.

This example is #265.

The odometer shows 7,120 miles. The seller has put 127 miles on this example.
