Hmmmmm, the text from the listing for this Ducati 900SS FE looks strangely familiar… One of the surprising things about having been writing these posts for the past few years is how often my words show up in sellers’ listings. I probably shouldn’t be encouraging folks to use my writing for free but, to be…

For only 112 of these coming into the U.S., they’ve recently become available in California, Arizona and now another one in California. The other two 998S FE’s we posted were modified and had…
Update: Bidding stalled at $6,000.00 and bike did not sell 1998 Ducati Super Sport 900 Final Edition with only 135 miles and never been titled. Located in Marina, CA is a superb looking FE being sold as new with only 135 miles on the clock. Listed on ebay and currently at $4,550 with the reserve…
