How many readers have a bevel on your bucket list? We have seen a handful of these 1980 black and gold Duc’s over the past 17 years. They do not come up often, so take a close look.
Not practical, but inherently cool, according to Tad, “Powered by the restyled “square case” motor that was introduced in 1975, Ducati’s 900SS actually displaced 864cc. The evolutionary 900SS also came with improved or modified features to improve performance and make the bike more palatable to US buyers, including quieter stock mufflers and a shift mechanism meant to improve on the the version available on previous models that crudely relocated the lever to the left side of the bike.
Ducati’s 900SS was far from cutting-edge technology by the time the 1980s rolled around: twins were pretty passe in the new era of inline-four superbikes from Japan. And Ducati’s famous desmodromic valve-actuation was probably no real advantage for a twin with a redline of 8,500rpm. But European bikes still represented the pinnacle of handling at this point, and although the bevel-drive, Desmo twin probably had just an insignificant performance advantage over comparable rivals, the Swiss watch-like arrangement of shafts and gears and cam lobes used to open and close the bike’s four valves seems like engineering overkill. Not practical, but inherently cool.”
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
