The ( original ! ) owner of this 900 SS/FE must’ve been at the dealer in late 1997 to have cadged chassis number 016 of 300. The end-of-model commemorative had mostly the best of the 900SS years, and where Ducati left off, this owner has updated to even better. 1998 Ducati 900 SS/FE for sale…
Update 9.25.2018: This bike has SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc If you have the Desmodromic Flu, the guys over at Iconic Motorbikes have the cure! And it’s a very, very yellow pill to swallow! The whole range of Ducati’s Tamburini-designed superbikes are likely at a low-ebb in terms of values, so if you’ve…
Update 10.8.2018: This bike has SOLD to an RSBFS reader! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc The Ducati 851 is rare and special enough in Ducati’s classic blood red livery, but it’s worlds more special in the Italian flag tricolore paint scheme.

Hard to believe it was just 1968 when engineering director Fabio Taglioni put Ducati’s street eggs in the desmo basket, having used the valve actuation technique in race machines for several years. The Mk.3 line included 250, 350, and 450cc singles, and while this last-year model hasn’t run in a while, its low miles and…

Ducati has carved out an enormous niche in the super-sport area, with some compromises on the sporting intentions of their superbikes, but often more versatile and plenty of fun. This 900SS was parked after a year or so of use and recently re-incarnated, a happy beginning to its next chapter. 1993 Ducati 900SS for sale…
The original listing for this 1995 Ducati TT2 Replica includes some good general information, but I’d love more specific details about the components. The seller mentions the frame was supplied by Roy Thersby, but did he build the frame, modify the frame, or just paint it? At a glance, it appears to be from a…
Update 7.31.2018: Price reduced to $12,000 USD or best offer. Good luck to buyers and seller! -dc Ducati’s four-valve foray, the WSBK-winning 851 desmoquattro is destined for collectibility. Meanwhile the Weber fuel-injected superbike is a rideable feast. Rare as 851’s are stateside, this Ferracci replica is 1,000 miles closer to Oz than JFK, and may…
