Ducati made a pretty good number of their updated, Pantah-engined Super Sports between 1991 and 1998, so these aren’t especially exotic. But it’s rare to find any bike that old in this kind of condition. Powered by a 904cc version of the air-cooled v-twin and backed by a six-speed gearbox and a nice, rattly dry…
Today’s post is for two Ducati Desmosedici, a bike which I think is the most lustworthy Ducati of the last 20 years, even more so than the 916/996/998. One is a truly incredible Casey Stoner homage and the other appears to a pristine “team version” edition. A true “racebike-for-the-streets”, the Desmosedici was a limited production, road-legal…
Not often you see a sorted current racebike on the market, especially one cosmetically restored. A Ducati 1098S, generally regarded as too much for the street, was the basis for this build which took place last winter. The bike competed in the nine-weekend Championship Cup Series in Florida and placed very consistently to win the…

Though the WSBK team had a great many wins and three championships, after four years the factory returned to a more reminiscent design for the 1098. …
Right now, the early 90s air/oil-cooled Ducati 900SS is a serious sportbike bargain, although today’s limited-edition Superlight clearly bucks that trend.

On display for the past few years, this Ducati Paso 906 might be ready for revival. With just about 5,000 miles, some rubber, belts, and maybe a seal or two should be all that’s required for some nice riding. 1990 Ducati Paso 906 for sale on eBay Penned by Massimo Tamburini for the 1985 show…
With its last major refreshening in 2003, the Ducati Supersport waited out the inevitable without much fanfare. Concentrating on the 1000cc variant, even Ducati’s own model archive doesn’t show the 800 SuperSport after 2004. Lightweight and simple compared to the SuperBikes, the SS models are great riders and the sculptural Pierre Terblanche design is still…
