The motorcycle world offers many interesting rabbit holes to dive into. One can spend hours learning about a bike that only a few dozen are ever built. Something that defies logic from a monetary standpoint, something that is just so over the top one would struggle to picture the intended buyer. As one learns more…
While purists will claim that Ducati motorcycles NEED to be red, there is an undercurrent belief that yellow is indeed the fastest color. The absurdity of color changing the mechanical makeup aside, perhaps the color theory was borne out of this iconic model, the Superlight. Whereas the regular Supersport models of this era were available…
OK – so what we have here is no Superlight (reference Doug’s earlier post HERE).

Shout out to our returning resident writer for the spot on this one. Doug came across this 900 SSD and knew it was significant – but was too occupied redlining his 1990s memory lane exploits to write it up. Rock on with your neon pastels, Captain, I’m all too happy to step in and share…
Update 8.2.2021: This bike has SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc The Ducati Supersport line has been wildly successful for the Bologna manufacturer, and it is not difficult to see why.
