Update 2.14.2017: The seller has confirmed this bike has sold via RSBFS! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc To the Ducati faithful, the 1990s 900 series Supersports are the bikes that saved the company from ruin. Based around the Pantah “rubber band” motor, the desmodue (two-valve) mill is a torquey, lumpy motivator full of character…
This is the sort of bike that sets the offices of RSBFS buzzing. Feast your eyes on an actual *factory* race bike. Not an RS version of a street bike. An actual “we are the Ducati factory and we are going racing…” sort of race bike. And not just any factory bike, but one piloted…
Until the Monster arrived, the later SuperSport was Ducati’s all-rounder, its torquey powerplant and sweet handling taking the racetrack and longer tours in stride. Only offered stateside, the SP had a few nicer components and limited availability. This Texas example is worth a closer look. 1995 Ducati 900 SS/SP for sale on eBay The now…

The result was sporty and tourable, and this one appears stock and undamaged. 1990 Ducati Paso 906 for sale on eBay The Paso, named for fallen rider Renzo Pasolini, broke a great deal of new…
For some international flair, how about an Italian gem – in Italy? Bellissimo! Featuring the 851 race bike’s frame and ancillary bits but motivated by a 888cc mill, the SP4 was an evolution of the Ducati Superbike race-machine-turned-street-bike that added exclusivity to the promise of enhanced performance. For those shopping for the ultimate 888, however,…
If you want a machine with charisma, humane ergonomics, and a dash of tradition, the early 90s Ducati 900SS is a modern classic that offers a less frantic experience than similar bikes from Japan. Straight-line performance for the two-valve v-twin is modest, but these were all about midrange power and torque. Powered by a 904cc…
