It sounds as if there are some great bikes in here that are worth a call if you’ve been looking for one.  The price don’t sound to be deals but, the seller also appears to be a dealer (The photos might be file photos removed from eBay and not actual photos of the bikes for sale).  Regardless, this may be worth a look.  See the bikes on Craigslist here.

Mint 1980 Ducati 900SS Bevel Drive in GA

Are those 888 SPO’s becoming to common place for you?  How about a little old school Ducati?  I came across this nice example down in my neck of the woods.  The seller states the bike has only 7,606 miles on it and the bike is all original.  I imagine being unrestored,  this bike would have some serious appeal to Ducati collectors.  Too bad this is a Craigslist ad because this bike crys out for some nice hi res pictures.

From the seller:

1980 DUCATI 900SS (bevel drive) Desmo. Only 7606 miles. This is the real deal original black and gold!

I’ve had this bike since 1985 and it was never my regular ride hence the low mileage. It is original with all receipts and paperwork. I’m not going to go into much detail about the specs, a real Ducati enthusiast knows the history and appeal of this bike.

Take a look

As usual I’m curious what this bike actually sells for.  It appears to be in really nice shape and is unrestored.  On the other hand I don’t think the 1980 900SS is quite as sought after as maybe the 75-78 models.  Apparently serious Ducatists prefer the spoke wheels and more angular tank’s for the earlier models.  I don’t think that will hold too many people back on a clean, low mile example like this.  Take a look here.

Here is a very nicely priced Superlight in California!  Located in Los Angeles, California is #922 of 1000.  This bike is a one owner example with 18,800 original miles.  It features Termignoni exhaust, stage 2 jet kit, and a vented clutch cover.  The asking price is a very agreeable $6,500.  Personally, I feel this is a very good price as the Superlights aren’t that much higher spec. than the SP 900′s making it a good deal if you actually plan on riding the bike.  Also, see this very similar example that is still available with an asking price of $9,500.

Here is another very nice Superlight with reasonably low miles.  Located in Turner, Maine is a 1993 Ducati 900SL Superlight with 5,200 original miles.  This is the same bike we saw in February with a broken motor.  The current seller states that they replaced the motor with one from a 1995 900SS; the valves were adjusted, new belts installed, and an oil and filter change.  The seller doesn’t mention mileage on the new motor.  The original motor is available with the bike.  The Superlights weren’t that much different from the standard 900SS–excluding the wheels, mono seat, and some other bits–making the change not that detrimental to someone who plans on using this bike.  This bike sold on February 20, 2010 for $5,700.  $5.7k is a good price for a SL but it did have a bad motor, we’ll see how much this new seller can make with forty days invested and a new motor–the Buy-It-Now price is $9,500.  This bike might be a good buy for someone planning on using their SL but, as with all auctions, don’t get caught up and pay premium money for a storied bike.  See the original eBay ad here.  Watch the bidding for this SL on eBay .

This is an early Supersport in Metallic black which was only available in 1992.  Located in Stockton, California is a 1992 Ducati 900SS with 3,782 original miles.  We’ve seen one other example of this color scheme before which caused quite the discussion and can be seen here.  This color was only available in 1992 and only 13 of the half-fairing bikes made it to the U.S. but, I’m not sure on how many full fairing examples made it in.  Anyone know Ian Fallon?  Regardless of how this color is viewed, this is a low mile example of the early white frame Supersports.  This bike isn’t entirely original as it has been fitted with Fast By Ferracci exhaust in carbon and a Dynojet stage two kit to match.  The stock exhaust is included with the bike.  The bike is also fitted with Dunlop D208′s.  The seller also mentions that a full set of gear comes with the bike–useful if you’re the same size and share the same taste as the seller.  This bike looks to be fitted with the correct seat and decals which one would expect from a bike with this low mileage.  The asking price is $6,500 which is $2,000 less than the other black ’92 we saw that had 4,000 more miles.  If you like your Ducati’s black but like something a bit more vintage, see this bike on Craigslist here.

We’ve seen a few FEs as of late but, here is a 900SS/SP with low miles!  Located in Chicago, Illinois is a very nice, yellow, 1997 Ducati 900SS/SP with 2,621mi.  The SP models–as opposed to the CR bikes–feature a full fairing, wider 5.5″ rear wheel, full-floating rotors front and back, Showa adjustable front and rear suspension, aluminum rear swingarm and a carbon front fender.  This example is rare in being finished in yellow and has also been fitted with a Micron carbon silencer.  This SP has just gone through servicing including valve adjustment and fluid flush; it also has been fitted with new tires.  Two owners since new.  The asking price is $5,000 which sounds correct for what people are asking for bikes with much higher mileage.  A thanks goes out to Earl S. for sending this our way.  See the bike on Craigslist here.

Here is another, very clean, 900SS/FE number 179 of 300.  Located in San Mateo, California is a 1998 Ducati 900SS Final Edition with 6,700 original miles.  This bike has been fitted with Forza carbon silencers–possibly a full system.  A lot of FE 900′s have become available lately making them seem not so rare even though only three-hundred were produced for the U.S.!  The asking price on this example is $6,800.  This price puts it at the higher end of FE prices and it isn’t the lowest mileage we’ve seen.  Doug posted a FE with only 135 original miles, and still on MSO which can be seen here; It’ll be interesting to see what that bike sells for as it should give a pretty good indication of current values for FE’s heading into spring.  See this example on Craigslist here.  See a photo album of the bike here.

Update: Bidding stalled at $6,000.00 and bike did not sell

1998 Ducati Super Sport 900 Final Edition with only 135 miles and never been titled.

Located in Marina, CA is a superb looking FE being sold as new with only 135 miles on the clock. Listed on ebay and currently at $4,550 with the reserve still on. In keeping the miles on the low low there shouldn’t be much more than some dust to polish off and this one should be ready to go. I personally have grown quite fond of these earlier 900′s and as Phil has touched on before, they are an inexpensive entry point into the world of Ducati. I know they aren’t the latest greatest, but the 900′s aren’t torture racks like the 916′s that followed either. This one does have a personalized message, written in Sharpie, on the tank. For me this distracts from the purity and overall value of the bike. I realize that it is possible to remove it, but the bike should be flawless in every way with only 135 miles in 12 years.

Phil has posted several FE’s as of late and it seems that prices are some of the lowest for any Ducati LE. I’m not sure why either because they share a lot of the same bits as the SS SL. Mono-posto seat, high mount pipes, a sprinkling of carbon bits and of course you get that air cooled Ducati sound. Now, with this one you’ll need to cut loose of a few hundred bucks for a set of pipes and a jet kit to make it sound really sweet. I’m curious to see where the bidding stops on this one since it is 100% stock other than some Sharpie.

Quotes from the listing:

1998 DUCATI FINAL EDITION SUPER SPORT , 900CC ,135 MILES SINCE NEW! MINT AND PERFECT, NUMBER 266, BIKE HAS NEVER BEEN TITLED, STILL ON ORIGINAL MSO, ALL MANUALS, KEYS TOOL ROLL, NEEDS NOTHING, VERY BEAUTIFUL AND ONLY 135 MILES

So if your in the business of collecting Ducati’s or just like the older air cooled 900′s; and give this a look.

Cheers!

This is a fabulous looking, low mile, 900SS FE at a market correct price!  Located in Seattle, Washington is a 1998 Ducati 900SS FE with 6,680 original miles.  This bike has been recently services with a nice, and thorough, write up describing the bikes history as known to the owner.  Recent service includes a valve adjust, new belts, bled clutch and other regular maintenance items.  The seller states that there are some light/small scratches on the bike and the carbon fairing has started to dull.  The only maintenance item the bike has is a neutral light that is out.  The modifications are limited to a Fast By Ferracci exhaust with a carbon silencer and a Evoluzione clutch slave.  The bike shows very well in the photos and supports the claims of the seller.  There were only 800 of these produced world-wide with 300 coming to North America.  I find these to be much more visually appealing than the generation that followed.  See the bike on Craigslist here.
