Ducati Fever?Is it me? Or have we seen a lot of Ducatis on the market lately? Whatever the Italians are doing, it is working because now I’m starting to think I need one. This bright beauty is on Bring A Trailer with a current bid of $3,000. Bidding ends in 6 days and there are…
Ducati made a some purely sporting mods to the 904cc Supersport which eliminated the pillion and a added a few lighter components. A previous owner undid some of the weight savings but this is still a quite original and very good example. 1993 Ducati 900SS Superlight for sale on eBay With all the goodness built…
Seems as if the UK has had a couple of really interesting motorcycles come to market recently. On the heals of a post trying to make a case for a Bimota DB2 over a standard 900SS this SuperLight really complicates the situation. Sure the DB2 is appealing, but is it too niche? Maybe a Ducati…
