In 1992, Ducati took their 900 Supersport and added several choice extras to create a limited edition called the Ducati Superlight. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, in 1993 they removed almost all the extras, leaving just a fully floating rear brake to differentiate the limited edition from its less exclusive brother. Today we feature a beautiful example of one of those ’93 models.
The 900SL featured a 80 horsepower, two valve v-twine engine with the desmodromic valves that Ducati is known for. The Superlight also got a single seat, instead of the usual biposto setup, and a numbered plaque on the triple trees. And while it sounds like it’s got all the right features and limited exclusivity, there’s one thing that might take the wind out of your sails. The actual weight savings you got with a “Superlight” version? About 6 pounds. Ducati fans didn’t care, and plenty paid the hefty premium for this limited edition. Ducati considered it a sales success.
This example has roughly 15,000 miles. and it’s been sitting in th eseller’s “living room as a piece of art for the last 7 years. We are remodeling so figured I’d see if anyone wants it.” He says that after fresh gas and a battery it fired right up as the tank was oiled and the carbs were drained before it was put on display. If you want to ride it you’ll want to do fluids and belts as well.
