Lot 274
A 1980 Ducati 900 SS £12, 000 - 14, 000
One owner from new
With some history
From the owner:
The Ducati has not been run since April 1990 and has been kept garaged since then.
It comes with:-
Owners manual
Haynes workshop manual
2 additional unused and undrilled side panels (in black)
2 unused Armour Products of Wimbourne stainless steel exhausts (no BS kitemarks unfortunately so not road legal)
Original double seat
Registration document
Some repair and service paperwork and old road tax disks
The bike was "put to bed" in 1990 with the carbs and downpipes sealed, the crankcase filled with oil and plenty of oil applied through the spark plug holes before I replaced them.
Prior to 1990 a full engine rebuild, tank and frame repaint was performed by Newton Engineering - the reconditioned crank subsequently failed and a new crank was installed and has about 4, 000 miles on it. I believe that a new gear cluster was installed during the original engine rebuild.
The front brake lever/ piston has seized whilst garaged. Rear brake works fine as at the time of writing this email.
The reason that I mothballed the Ducati was due to me purchasing a series of Suzukis which had the same riding position and much more power.
Motorcycle location: Peel, Isle of Man
