More Than the Sum – 1993 Ducati 900SS Custom

Ducati’s iconic 900 SuperSport has everything you need and nothing you don’t.  The early 90’s edition inspired this retro-faired monoposto, where even more of everything is out in the open.  The custom frame, tank and fairing hang together very well, looking like a Friday afternoon ride into the hills waiting to happen. 1993 Ducati 900SS…

Swiss Army Bike – 2007 Ducati Monster 800 S2R

Ducati definitely had a Monster for every rider in the mid-oughties, from a 996cc water-cooled naked superbike to a M400 progressive license special.  The 800 S2R had a firm hold on the middle of the road, air-cooled and torquey, sporty but more like a ragtop sports car.  This example barely has break in miles and…

Distant Rumble – 2004 Ducati 1000DS SuperSport

Long and lean, Ducati’s 1000 Dual Spark SuperSport impressed reviewers with stable handling and sensible seat height.  Its 85 air-cooled hp don’t snap the bike upright but do just fine making the cars and bikes behind get smaller.  This 2004 model has miles but recent maintenance and a very factory appearance. 2004 Ducati 1000DS SuperSport…

178 Miler: 2002 Ducati MH900e

I know it is early in the year, but I’m going to go out on a limb and proclaim this advert as one of the top 5 worst presentations of 2018. Fortunately, the bike is a MH900e – the Terblanche-designed internet wunderbike that put Ducati collectables on the map. Sold in limited numbers and online…

Too Much of a Good Thing – 1995 Ducati Supersport SS/SP

Drumming up business sometimes involves a round of badge engineering, which Ducati succumbed to in the early 1990’s with their SuperSports.  The normally venerable Sport Production designation was a bit diluted but the all-American model was graced with some carbon components and Showa adjustable suspension.  Still it’s a significant and low-production Ducati, and number 349…

Smarty Pants: 2006 Ducati Paul Smart

When Paul Smart rode a green-framed 750 to victory at Imola in 1972, Ducati history was made. No longer a bit player with smaller bikes, Ducati proved that they could compete on the world’s stage. And since that 1972 victory, Ducati has hunted down championship after championship. They have also reached back into the land…

An Elefant’s Memory – 1988 Ducati Paso 750

Shortly after the Castiglioni family took controlling interest in Ducati, they commissioned Massimo Tamburini with a new and competitive sportbike, fully faired and built tough underneath. The Paso didn’t result in a dynasty, but is a sporty and interesting chapter in Ducati’s history. 1988 Ducati Paso 750 for sale on eBay Fully enclosing an air-cooled…
