In the Ducati line-up from 1974-2007, the SuperSport has often been the sportiest Ducati, but more lately the second-sportiest. Using the air-cooled Desmodue when the SuperBikes had radiators and four valve heads, and often available in smaller displacements, the SuperSports often had half-fairings and a corner of the showroom away from the window. This SS…
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…
Eye-catching but not an original 900 SS, this lookalike might be a good alternative for a value-conscious bevel fan. Presumably customized from a standard 900 Darmah, the tank and fairings present the SS aura and looks better than most originals. 1978 Ducati 900 SD Custom for sale on eBay With single overhead cams driven by…
Succeeding the 750 F1, the 750 Sport changed places with the Paso which went on to 904 cc. Though found on the bargain side of the Ducati showroom, the 750 Sport helped the brand through some negative reaction to the innovative Paso and held the door for the Supersports which followed. 1990 Ducati 750 Sport…
In flannel red and just in time for gift giving season, the prince of retro commemoratives. Styled by Pierre Terblanche in honor of Mike Hailwood’s 1978 Isle of Man win, the MH900E is a mix of leading edge and vintage, in both looks and technology. 2000 Ducati MH900E for sale on eBay Red and silver from nose…
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. With limited production, distinctive good looks, lightweight bodywork, and that classic yellow and white color combo, it’s easy to see why Ducatisti swooned over these when they were new, even if nobody else really…
The water-cooled Monster S4RS was a great engine in search of a bike. It was spawned from the original Monster that was itself the proverbial Franken-bike: frame from an 888, suspension and wheels from the 900SS-CR, and a dash that looks like someone ripped the idiot light cluster straight out of a Fiat. They’ve got…
Look, I’d really buy this Ducati Sport 1000SE just for the insanely cool 2-into-2 high/low Zard exhaust and get a pretty nice bike thrown in for free. Because if I had the money and space to collect a bunch of bikes, the Sport 1000 would be on the list, and I’d want one with this…
