One Owner – 1980 Ducati 900SS

In Italy, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Listing Update: This 900SS did not meet reserve despite 45 bids up to $24,200.

After the angular design of the 860GT, Ducati went back to the classic lines of the 750SS when they styled the 900 Super Sport. Despite fewer-than-expected sales when it was first released, the 900SS has been steadily gaining value in recent years – and this example stands out because it’s being offered by the original owner!

The black-and-gold paint scheme of this 900 SuperSport has become quite iconic for Ducati, and as greenframe bike prices have entered the stratosphere, many riders have been instead looking for excellent examples of the 900SS like this bike (VIN: 0891700). It has 12,276 miles and it was given 40mm Dell’Orto carbs and Conti exhaust to replace the stock 36mm and Silentiums. Other modifications include stainless steel brake lines, V-Two Gear Gzer, Dyna coils, WORKS suspension front and rear, and a longer clutch actuation arm. The seller says the bike is mechanically excellent and that it got a new clutch and rings recently. He has nearly all of the maintenance records since new, and the bike was featured in a Motorcycle Classics article back in 2008. It’s got some cosmetic wear but I’m a big fan. The seller only rides it once or twice a year so he’s letting it go to a lucky new owner.
