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.
