Pierre Terblanche designed 1998 900SS
Ideal winter rebuild or resto-mod project
A well-specified bike in its day

Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WWII they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine. By the 1960s 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 V-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 V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. In 1998 the new version of the 900SS (Supersport) was styled by Pierre Terblanche with the traditional slab-sided fairing replaced with a more curvaceous look that was far more modern.

This 900SS, being offered at 'no reserve', has been part of a private collection that is now being sold to make way for other projects. The bike has been stood for a few years and is missing its r/h silencer and l/h front and rear footrest hangers, making it an ideal winter project to either restore to standard or to create an interesting 'resto-mod' special. A well-specified bike in its day, with Brembo wheels and brakes and Showa suspension, it is offered with a current V5C.
