Phil’s ’98 Ducati 900SS FE (#299) for sale

Update 9.1.2011: SOLD!

OK folks, here’s my own personal ride up for sale – a very clean ’98 Ducati 900SS FE (serial #299 of 300) with 76xx miles.

As some of you may know, I am quite fond of the 2V air-cooled Ducati engine for its charm. As a matter of fact, my first post for RSBFS was a Ducati 900SS FE, so with a bit of irony and a hint of sadness I am putting up my own FE up for sale.

The bike has very low miles and well looked after. It’s pretty much stock except for carbon silencers (I think they are Ducati Performance items but not sure) and Corbin saddle. The bike doesn’t need anything other than a quick going over the fluids and batteries.

Asking $5800 or best offer. The bike can be viewed at at Supermoto Italia in New York. Any questions just let me know!

1998 Ducati 900SS FE for sale in San Francisco

Bargain 1998 Ducati 900SS FE (Final Edition)!

My first post on RSBFS was a 900SS FE and I have always liked the classic lines of the old air-cooled Supersports. For most people and for most street riding, these bikes are more than enough to get that stupid grin on your face without getting into too much trouble. And $4500 will get you this very nice 1998 Ducati 900SS FE Final Edition (#30 of 300) for sale in San Francisco:

Final Edition #30
10670 Miles
All Stock except for AFAM front & 39tooth Rear Sproket (1k miles)
1k miles on brakes and tires
Magnetic Tank Bag
Battery Tender
2nd Owner
Minor Cosmetic scratches and rear light lense cracked

So there are some cosmetic scratches and the rear lense is cracked, but what do you expect for a 12 year old bike? And for the bargain asking price, I can easily over look the minor details. FEs have been hovering around the $5500 – $6000 range, so this one’s a steal.

Also check out Ed’s 900SS/FE website – chock full of good info. If you end up getting this or any other 900SS FE, don’t forget to get your bike in the 900SS FE registry as well!

Finally, just to show that Supersports can be Supersexy as well, see this tricked out 900SS FE special done up by performance parts dealer Motowheels complete with BST carbon fiber wheels, carbon fiber tank, Rizoma goodies… hmm….

1998 Ducati 900SS FE – bargain!

Before you check out this Ducati, please welcome Phil to Rare Sport Bikes For Sale as this is his first post. He has been a subscriber and regular with site submissions — so much so that I had to just invite him to contribute directly when I couldn’t keep up with his emails anymore! He’s a big time Bimota fan and is blogging from Hong Kong for us, which I think is extra cool. Welcome aboard Phil!

Hi, it’s my first post contributing to RSBFS, so if I made any boo-boos, please bear with me. So, with that out of the way…what we have here is a nice example of a for sale on eBay.

The FE stands for “Final Edition”, the last batch of monoposto air-cooled super sports before the new injected version. There are only 800 of these world wide, with 300 of them for the US market. FE’s share similar running gear to earlier Superlights with higher exhaust, carbon bits, and single seat. Each FE has a number metal plaque on the top triple clamp and this one is #283.

Here’s what the seller has to say:

DUCATI 900 SUPERSPORT FE #283

Bike comes with: FULL RAISED EXHAUST SYSTEM (ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL EXHAUST SYSTEM) , DUC PERFORMANCE STEERING DAMPER, BRAIDED BRAKE LINES.

Very low reserve………………The bike is EXCELLENTE CONDITIONS!!! Real awsome RIDE!

CRATING, SHIPPING and DELIVERY to any US STATES (Except Alaska and Hawaii) for only $450.00.

New tittle from DUCATI NA, bike has never registered …MSO.”

FEs have been averaging around 5500, so this one at 3500 is an absolute steal! The bike looks clean and have some aftermarket bits on it as well – someone would be very happy with this (I know I would be)!

Classic Heavy Metal: 1980 Ducati Super Sport for Sale

Although it’s date-stamped as a 1980 model, this Ducati 900 Super Sport is obviously a sportbike from an even earlier era: twin-shock suspension aside, the engine features vintage, half-faired style and nearly Victorian-era detailing on the engine. A bit of a throwback, this machine is nonetheless significant to modern sportbike fans, as it was the more commonly available update of the original 750 Super Sport that was Ducati’s first foray into big sportbikes. These early Super Sports were basically ground zero for the company as it exists today, especially significant as we’re now staring down the barrel of the end of Ducati’s v-twin superbikes with the introduction of their MotoGP-aping V4.

The 900 Super Sport was introduced in 1975 as an evolution of their iconic, but very limited-production 750 Super Sport. It used an updated version of their overhead-cam, air-cooled v-twin, here punched out to 864cc and fitted with the restyled “square” engine cases to replace the “round” cases on the 750. Keep in mind that, up until the introduction of the rubber-belt Pantah engine, it was only the Super Sport models that had Ducati’s spring-less Desmo valve actuation. Combined with a system of tower shafts and bevel gears to drive the cams instead of chains or belts, the “bevel-head” v-twin engine was more Swiss watch than propulsion system, and manufacturing costs were unsurprisingly high, a major reason for the switch to rubber belts.

Aside from the increased displacement, the 900SS featured a number of changes intended to broaden the bike’s appeal for the US market, with modern cast aluminum wheels, a quieter exhaust [blasphemy!], improved kick start, and the gearshift redesigned for the left side of the bike. Earlier examples with left-foot shifter used a cumbersome linkage to convert the bike from its original right-foot shift and the new mechanism was much more precise. Originally, the bike came in classic silver with blue graphics, with the black-and-gold scheme seen here introduced in 1979. This particular example has aftermarket bar-end mirrors fitted that are obviously not period-correct, but pretty innocuous and easily removed if you’re going for the original, mirror-less style. The engine also features a clear glass “Gear-Gazer” for the upper cylinder’s bevel-drive gears, and aftermarket addition but one I’d probably want for myself, originality be damned.

From the original eBay listing: 1980 Ducati 900 Super Sport Desmo for Sale

17,066 original miles – Collector owned

Restored to Perfection in 2015

History:

After the round case twins 750 GT, Sport and Super Sport Desmo entered the scene, Ducati management found that the line-up lacked a super sport bike capable of competing with the Japanese superbikes with over 750 cc and the Ducati 900 Super Sport was developed to fill that gap.

Initially, Ducati opted for a more touring-oriented approach, with the 860 GT styled by Giugiaro, that unfortunately did not win the public’s favour. At the same time, however, the Bolognese manufacturer also introduced a sportier version, the 900 Super Sport, reminiscent of the sales success of the gorgeous 750 SS Desmo.
The 860 cc engine was derived from the original L-twin engine conceived for the 750 GT, however with a redesigned, more squared case.

Throughout its history, the 900 SS actually underwent few modifications, from the fuel tank to the light-alloy wheels, and was offered in a gold and black livery, in addition to the classic silver and electric blue colour scheme.

Asking Price: $35,500 obo.

The Buy It Now is listed at $35,500 and for that kind of cash, I’d like a little less “brief history that we probably already know” and more information on the who-what-where of the “restoration.” Describing something simply as “restored to perfection” is the kind of thing that can mean different things to different people, although I’d expect that the seller would be happy to answer any questions, and the bike looks terrific in the photographs.

Moto Guzzi April 26, 2016 posted by Tad Diemer

Mature Sport Bike: 2002 Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans for Sale

Much like the Ducati 900SS FE we featured last week, today’s reborn Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans is a bike for riders who value a bit of history and real-world performance over high horsepower numbers, racetrack manners, and the newest technological acronyms. And when I say “legacy,” I mean legacy: the longitudinally-mounted 90° v-twin found in the first twin cylinder Guzzis originally powered a do-it-all military tractor from the early 1960s…

A very evolved version of that venerable v-twin, here displacing 1064cc and producing a modest 90hp and 65ft.lbs of torque to motivate 557lbs of fully-fueled Italian history. That beefy powertrain is backed by six-speed box that was introduced in the original V11 Sport and was worlds better than the ancient five-speeder that preceded it, still driving through a driveshaft to the rear wheel. That longitudinal crankshaft orientation means that, like a flat-twin BMW, the bike responds to throttle inputs with a distinctive twist to the left. It doesn’t ultimately limit handling, but it does take a bit of getting used to, as rolling on the throttle coming out of corners has the bike responding a bit differently, depending on whether you’re turning left or right…

The Le Mans is obviously just a tarted-up V11 Sport trading on the name of Guzzi’s most famous sportbike, but it has the same basic strengths of grace and pace. These were expensive motorcycles when new. Actually, most people would probably describe them as “too expensive,” but their values have dropped dramatically in the used market and a good V11 Le Mans offers up a bit of Swiss Army Knife versatility. Carve canyons, do some light touring, pose at your local bike night, it’s a bit of a one-bike-fits-all motorcycle, if you’ve only got room in your garage for one machine.

From the original eBay listing: 2002 Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans for Sale

Shoulder problems have resulted in me not being able to ride a sporty position motorcycle any longer. This means that my 2002 LeMans is in search of a new home. I do not want to sell any of the parts/accessories separately, so please, no messages regarding that.
Details and link to photos follow:

Condition:

“Cristal Cuvèe” color (that would be gold, to you and me)

12,500 miles.

I am the second owner. I purchased it in 2010 (on ebay, from a New York owner) with about 6600 miles on it.

It was originally sold by Fast by Ferracci in Pennsylvania, 11/12/2002.

Texas Title is free and clear.

Bike is 100% mechanically, both original owner and I are maintenance fanatics.

No crashes, but has minor “rashes” on fairing indents each side (right side from original owner, left side from about two years ago when hot asphalt gave way under the kickstand. (see photos)

Some cracking and peeling of paint on lower portions of metallic red frame side panels…the well known “Pork Chop” issue. (see photos)

Continental Road Attack tires, front at about 2000 miles, rear less than 1000

Original manuals and tool kit

Extras:

Shop stand (since the Le Mans has no Center Stand)

Power Commander III module installed (I have run it with and without…Throttle response seems smoother with it in place.)

Fast by Ferracci crossover pipe, bright silver ceramic coated (original stock H-pipe included)

Head pipes bright silver ceramic coated (will not discolor from heat)

Factory accessory aluminum rear rack (with instructions)

Ventura Bike-Pack System installed with Grab Bar, Sport Rack and Pack Rack options (Packs and rain cover included)

Givi Top Case (Was mounted to Sport Rack, but I never used it.)

Nelson-Rigg RiggPack soft top case with raincover.

RoadGear Hi-Adventure Jumbo Sport soft saddlebags. (I added 5mm Obechi plywood side stiffeners)

Hi-Adventure Jumbo Sport Saddle Bags (I added 5mm Obechi plywood side stiffeners)

Apex Racing adjustable 3″ riser clip-ons installed (original factory clip-ons included for stock change-back)

Motratech forward foot control kit, (again with all original parts included to revert to stock position)

Guzzi factory accessory cover (red fabric with gold eagle, not weatherproof, for indoor use only)

Nelson-Rigg outdoor cycle cover.

Laminar Lip windscreen add on (reduces helmet buffeting, easily removable)

Corbin Gunfighter solo saddle as well as original factory dual saddle with solo dress cover/backrest

Spare left hand fairing side (prepainted).

Real Gaskets silicone rubber valve cover gaskets.

Spare shifter return spring (these are known to sometimes fail on ’02s, but the factory one is still working in this case)

Full set of factory decals and emblems for eventual repaint or repair use

Factory brochures and October 2001 Cycle World magazine with 2002 Le Mans review

Original owner cut holes in airbox, but a complete additional airbox and spare filter is included, for “back to stock” use.

Repairs:

Crankcase vent tube replaced at 8000 miles

Monoshock failed at 10,500. Replaced with a (hard to find) new stock unit (failed unit still on hand if you want to have it rebuilt or upgraded).

Battery replaced with Odyssey PC545, March, 2013.

Just 12,000 miles on the odometer means this bike is pretty low-mileage for a Guzzi, especially considering the touring accessories fitted. The seller is asking just $4,995.00 for the whole package, a pretty screaming deal considering the miles, condition, and extras included. Quality on some of the earlier V11 Sports was a bit spotty, but took a significant turn for the better under Aprilia’s stewardship that began in 2001.

It’s not perfect, with a few minor scrapes along the fairing edge and some general details, but a bit of TLC should turn it into a very classy and capable machine. I’ve ridden a V11 Sport and, while they are pretty heavy bikes, they are also very sure-footed, once you get used to the asymmetrical cornering-thing. Which you will.
