This is Lot 408 in the Bonhams Spring Stafford Sale on April 20 & 21, please see the Bonhams website for full details.
In Cagiva ownership from 1985, Ducati continued to offer developments of the Fabio Taglioni-designed Pantah while developing an entirely new family of water-cooled models that would debut towards the decade's end in the form of the legendary 851 Superbike. At the same time, the Paso tourer's Weber carburetted 904cc air-cooled engine was put in the 750 Sport chassis to create the 900 Super Sport, its name recalling a famous model from the Bologna firm's not too distant past. Other noteworthy features included 17" wheels, larger Brembo brakes and Marzocchi suspension. An interim model produced for little more than a year pending the arrival of an extensively revised model of same name, the 1990 900SS is one of the rarest of the Ducati v-twin family.
Owned by the current vendor since 2013, this unrestored 900SS is offered with a current MoT until March 2025 albeit it may be beneficial to do a full service or a complete restoration to get it back to its former glory. Offered with a V5C, HPI report and MoT certificate. A unique opportunity to own a piece of Ducati history which is slowly coming to the forefront of collectors.
