Documentation

The Ducati SuperSport and SS are a series of air-cooled four-stroke desmodromic 2-valve 90° V-twin motorcycles made by Ducati since 1988. A limited edition SuperSport called SuperLight was sold in 1992. The 1991 Supersports were produced with white chrome-molybdenum steel frames. and white wheels. The swingarms used needle roller bearings instead of bushings like in the past. Brakes from the Ducati 851 were used on the SuperSport which greatly improved braking performance. The revised SuperSports garnered immediate success and became wildly popular. Even though the 1991 SuperSport was extremely well developed, Ducati would continue to refine the bike over the years. From 1991 to 1998 the model was called 900 SS and was available with full (SS or called “Carenata”) or half fairing (SS/CR or called “Nuda”). (Production total in 1993: nb ) 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 84 HP (61.8 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 183 Kg and (before that time) already achieved a top speed of approximately 220 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. This 1993 model can be recognized by the bronze colored frame and the black wheels and is still in its original condition as it was sold at the time. Only the brake lines have been replaced by higher quality steel ones. This motorcycle was bought from the 1st owner who had not ridden the motorcycle for a very long time, but had it safely under covers in his extension. A find that is rare these days. Given its age, the motorcycle has hardly been ridden over the years, which can be clearly read from the total condition of the motorcycle given the extremely low mileage of approx. 4,300 km (!). In addition to the necessary documents, the bike will be delivered including the original Ducati owners manual and Ducati folder. This Ducati SuperSport is an original Dutch delivered motorcycle which still has the original Dutch issued registration number. The Ducati 900 SS SuperSport is becoming increasingly scarce and the regularity with which it used to be offered is a thing of the past. A (technically) well-maintained original with a relatively low mileage in particular is rarely offered on the market and is never for sale for long! The Caranata type (with the full cockpit) has been working for some years now with an increase in value that will only increase further in the coming years. A collectable that should not be missing in your collection. Runs, but cannot be started due to belts. Please refer to the general auction information for more information.
