Ducati’s long history of a 750 Supersport continued from 1973 into the early 21st century but finally relinquished the entry-level side of the showroom to the Monster. Presented here is a near-perfect example of the last generation of 750SS, simple, lightweight, beautiful, and promising fun.
1999 Ducati 750 Supersport for sale on eBay
The tried and true 748cc desmodue was under the gold trellis frame, and put forth 64 hp. Certainly serviceable, the Showa forks and Sachs monoshock are ripe for an upgrade. Not so the excellent Brembo brakes, 320mm semi-floating front discs under 4-pot calipers, with single 245 mm rear. The very sculptural styling was done by Pierre Terblanche for the 1999 model year, and though controversial at the time, seems to be back in vogue.
Evidently hidden away by the previous and current owners, this 750SS is immaculate. Except for the adjustable levers it looks factory original. From the eBay auction:
New condition 750 SuperSport. Not a mark on the bike, is absolutely beautiful, showroom condition. Averaged 400 miles per year.
I am the 2nd owner and purchased from an older gentleman who just did not ride the bike due to the seat/handlebar racing position. I have placed less than 25 miles on the bike since owning, 10/2015.
Has been garage kept, covered and on trickle charger. The bike is faster than I want to ride and handles beyond amazing. Images speak for the condition but glad to answer any questions by email or phone.Shifts perfect, clutch and brakes perform like new. Bike is in perfect condition.
While the upper-only fairing is a hallmark of the Supersport, this one has the full complement of lowers, and the yellow paint which had recently been re-introduced. Though some engine updates were still to come for the Supersports, the styling and overall vibe remained the same until the end in 2007. Maybe there’s room for a little compromise in the next owner’s life – not quite superbike performance, but a little simpler engine. A few years on, but no payments. This bike’s outstanding condition and supermodel fairing are a win-win though…
