Post Sale Update: This custom Monster sold for $6,700.
Yesterday, I featured Ducati’s own take on a tribute to the 900SS Darmah. Today, here’s another take from aftermarket firm Flight Cycles (looks like they’re no longer in business?)
Dubbed the SS2R, this bike started out as a M620 and was eventually modified into what you see here – featuring a single-sided swingarm conversion, Stage 2 900 motor, ECU, wiring harness, and more. Since 11/13 it’s only been ridden 350 miles and it’s claimed to be in excellent condition (though there’s some light wear on the gas tank clear coat and some tiny scratches on the top rear of the front fender.
This build got a lot of love when it was revealed about a decade ago, which is why I’m surprised to see that there hasn’t been any bidding activity so far. Do you think it hasn’t aged well, or have enough people just not seen it yet? For more information on how the build came about, check out this profile on DucCutters. Then, find the “SS2R” for sale in Winchester, Virginia with an unmet opening bid of $5,900
