Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine. By the 60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes’ chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic vee-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning vee-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The air-cooled SS models were intended to be sporting Ducatis for the masses, providing an unmistakably Italian motorcycle that didn’t carry the usual Ducati steep price tag and expensive maintenance requirements.

This 900 SS has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he's decided to downsize his collection. The bike, finished in classic Ducati Red, is presented in standard and original condition, still fitted with its genuine Ducati ZDM B04 end cans. Last run in 2018, it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a Haynes manual, an original sales catalogue, tool kit and a V5C.
