Compared to the Superlight (MKIV), only minor detail changes were made to the 1996 Superlight (MKV). The 1996 Superlights still came with the numbered plate on the triple clamp. (Production total: 309 pieces). The air-cooled engine has a capacity of 904 CC. Furthermore, the four-stroke V-Twin Cylinder SOHC Desmodronic engine is equipped with two valves per cylinder. The power of 78 HP (57 kW) is delivered at 7,000 rpm. The torque is set at 84 Nm at 6,400 rpm. The engine had a dry weight of 182 Kg and (before that time) already achieved a top speed of approximately 221 Km/hr. The transmission takes place via a 6-speed gearbox that drives the rear wheel via a chain. For the rest, the bike is equipped with the Showa Upside-Down front fork, which has been widely used by Ducati since the early 1990s, and a double disc brake at the front and a single disc brake at the rear. The former owner has not used the bike much given the stand of approx. 13,500 miles. In addition, he also had it well maintained, which in addition to the external condition of the engine can also be clearly read from the various invoices supplied. The motorcycle is originally from England and it has been decided not to provide it with a Dutch registration. However, the motorcycle comes with all the papers (UK Registration Certificate) to still do this or to import or export it to other destinations. Various accessories such as the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”, “World Dealer Guide”, etc… are included. In addition to the original Ducati folder, the standard documents also include the so-called Ducati Owners Manual! As a collector, in practice the most difficult motorcycle to add to your collection due to the (compared to the other models) very limited production number of only 309 (!) units! As a Ducati collector, a Superlight cannot be missed. If you also consult the SL900 register, you can read that there are several people who own one or more Superlights, not everyone chooses to register their Superlight for various reasons. As you can see in this auction, there is always a very small group of enthusiasts who aim to have the entire series in their collection. However, this collecting goal is not really easy in practice, but has not become impossible with this auction. Runs, but cannot be started due to belts. Please refer to the general auction information for more information.
