Following Paul Smart's success at the 1972 Imola 200 Formula 750 race aboard a brace of specially prepared desmodromic V-twin, there were demands from the public for a replica. Aside a limited run of homologation specials; fortunately, in 1975 Ducati introduced the 900SS, a machine that shared the same DNA whilst being built in greater numbers. It adopted the square case 860cc engine whilst retaining the 750SS cycle. The Silver and Blue livery worn by the first examples changed to a Black and Gold livery for 1978 which continued until 1980.
Considered by many to be last of the pure Taglioni-designed Ducatis, this 900SS. This very handsome prepared machine has graced the vendors collection for the last 9 years, jury that time it has been enjoyed, serviced by the very creditable Motori Di Marino in Chillington, West Sussex, who incidentally have known this machine for a very long time and has worked on it through a couple of different owners. The Ducati presents very well with a fresh code of Jet Black and striking Gold lining when the vendor first purchased it (receipt on file). The Ducati had an interim service in 2021. Used sparingly until 2023. Still in wonderful condition and would make a great new addition to the Ducati collector. It comes complete with a current V5C, purchase receipt, service invoices and a host of old mot certificates.
