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.
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.

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.
2002 Ducati MH900e Mike Hailwood Evoluzione (#0754 of 2000) for sale in Brooklyn, NY
The MH900e Mike Hailwood Evoluzione is limited edition bike and only 500 units made it to the US, so they are not a very common sight. I was already quite excited to find one (#1267 of 2000) for sale in CA, but I found yet another for sale in Brooklyn, NY! This time it’s MH900e #0754:
This MH900e only has 631 miles on the clock, and judging from the photos, it leads a pampered life. I’ve always liked the MH900e and even though the riding position has been described as “crippling”, I definitely wouldn’t mind having one of these to flog around the streets of Hong Kong.
First year 1993 Ducati 900SS SL Superlight #814 of 900 for sale on ebay. The bike is located in Barrington, RI.
We’re having our new year holidays here in Hong Kong, so I have lots of free time to surf and found a bunch of rare Ducatis for sale. So here’s the first of a long list of bikes coming up – a first year 1993 Ducati 900SS SL Superlight (but with a broken engine):
Absolutely Beautiful Ducati 900SS Superlight. Second Owner, I bought this bike from Ducati Dealer in Salt Lake City where it was on consignment sale. I looked long and hard for an immaculate bike and this was it. I bought the bike with about 3,000 miles on it.
The bike was serviced one year ago by Ducati dealer in South Kingstown, RI. I think they did something wrong with the desmo valves (but won’t admit it) becuase I rode the bike for 12 miles before the engine seized a few blocks from home. It sounded like a rod let loose at 6,500 rpm. The bike has sat for a year. I was going to either drop a replacement engine into it, or have em look at it and do the repairs.
The bike has been sitting in my heated garage since last august 2009. I have absolutely no time to ride this bike and it would be a great deal for someone. The only flaws are a broken exhaust bracket (shown). Bike has termi carbon exhausts, super low miles, no corrosion or rust etc anywhere. Just a 9 out of 10 show bike I was going to keep forever, now wasting away with a broken engine. The bike is absolutely original down to every carbon part and Marvic magnesium hub wheels. Will not ship, best offer wins. Please email with any questions. Comes with custome Ducati Bike cover and battery charge lead for battery tender.
Please check the listing for the full description as the seller has posted quite a bit of information in addition to the above. .
Some of our regular readers may know how fond we are of the 2V air-cooled Ducatis, and the first year Superlight with the 2-piece Marvic wheels is definitely high on our list. This sample seems to be in pristine condition with the exception of the broken engine (I’m guessing it’s a dropped valve), which could potentially turn out to be a costly jobs. However, for the more mechanically inclined Ducatistis among our readers, it’s a good opportunity to pick this up for a good price, fix it up for chips, and have a superb Superlight in your collection!
2002 Ducati MH900e Mike Hailwood (#1267 of 2000) for sale in Ukiah, CA
The MH900e (the ‘e’ stands for evoluzione) was a limited edition bike created to commemorate Mike Hailwood’s 1978 Isle of Man Formula 1 Championship. It was the first motorcycle to be sold exclusively over the internet where customers would reserve their bike online, and then waited for a year or more to have the bikes delivered. Only 500 made it to the US. Click here for more info on the MH900e.
The seller didn’t give any details, so please for the sellers’ contact info.
When the MH900e first came out I wanted it so badly that I called up my brother and sister, trying to convince them to pool together funds to pay for the required deposit. That didn’t work back then, but perhaps I should give them a call now. I’m sure they would be thrilled to hear from me with another bike purchase proposal…
Now this gets me excited – a rare 1993 Ducati 900SS Superlight with 42,000 miles for sale in Sacramento.
I have a preference for Ducati’s Supersport (over the Superbikes) as they make better “real world” street bikes with a good dose of old world charm and character from the air-cooled lump. Of the Supersports, the two most desirable models are the 900SS FE Final Edition as it is the most refined of the air-cooled SSs; the other is the first year (1993, for the US at least) 900SS Superlight, with the signature white frame and 2-piece Marvic wheels:
1993 Ducati 900 SS Superlight, one of 300 that were imported for sale by the orginal owner for only $5,000. This bike has been well cared for. It has Fox shock, forks revalve by Aftershocks, stainless steel brake lines, Corbin seat, has only 42,000 miles. This bike is in excellent shape.
I think the 1993 Superlight is one of the best looking Ducati’s ever, and at $5000, it’s a lot cheaper than other SL’s on the market. Granted, the mileage is quite high on this one, but if the bike is in good condition then it would be a nice addition to any collection.
My first post on RSBFS was a 900SS FE and I have always liked the classic lines of the old air-cooled Supersports. For most people and for most street riding, these bikes are more than enough to get that stupid grin on your face without getting into too much trouble. And $4500 will get you this very nice 1998 Ducati 900SS FE Final Edition (#30 of 300) for sale in San Francisco:
Final Edition #30
10670 Miles
All Stock except for AFAM front & 39tooth Rear Sproket (1k miles)
1k miles on brakes and tires
Magnetic Tank Bag
Battery Tender
2nd Owner
Minor Cosmetic scratches and rear light lense cracked
So there are some cosmetic scratches and the rear lense is cracked, but what do you expect for a 12 year old bike? And for the bargain asking price, I can easily over look the minor details. FEs have been hovering around the $5500 – $6000 range, so this one’s a steal.
Also check out Ed’s 900SS/FE website – chock full of good info. If you end up getting this or any other 900SS FE, don’t forget to get your bike in the 900SS FE registry as well!
Finally, just to show that Supersports can be Supersexy as well, see this tricked out 900SS FE special done up by performance parts dealer Motowheels complete with BST carbon fiber wheels, carbon fiber tank, Rizoma goodies… hmm….
Wow, with all the Bimotas up for sale lately, I’m giddy like a kid in the candy store! For those of you with cash in hand and ready to buy, it’s as good a time as ever for bike (and Bimota) shopping!
Powered by Ducati’s classic 900 air cooled motor the DB4 is about as close to a factory custom sportbike you will ever find. This bike has even got a few extras such as the Moto corse kit that included Keihin 41mm flatslide carburetors, a smaller fuel tank (to fit the larger carbs)and a full Titanium exhaust system. it also has Two brother racing clip-ons on the paoli forks.
Beautiful bike that will turn heads and draw a crowd where ever it goes.
Compared to the other Bimotas that have we listed before, this one is an absolute steal at $8500, although the half faired DB4 was very reasonably priced as well considering the list of upgrades added.
Someone buy it quick before I dip into my daughter’s education fund!
Ducati 900 Superlight located on the Long Island, NY Craigslist, that is part of a larger collection and might even be part of the same collection that Alex posted up a few days ago. These mid 90’s Ducati’s are moving up on my list of “bikes to own”, but this one is probably out of my reach for now (or later). This one only has 1,000 miles on the clock and has a hefty $13,300.00 price tag, but considering the condition could be worth every penny. Dan is a big fan of these and usually post up every Superlight he sees, but since I needed to get on the board this month, I couldn’t bring myself to pass it over to him
The owner didn’t elaborate much on this bike or his other collection pieces that he is looking to move, but did kindly list his phone number for any would be buyers. So if you were expecting a Ducati 900 Superlight decked out in “look at me” Yellow and didn’t find it under the tree; jump on over to CL and give this one a look. It looks like a Million bucks!
