I really appreciate your expertise and comments, it really does help with the decision making. Particularly when the bike is (again) 350 miles away so viewing is either impossible or extremely intrusive on precious weekends. To me, drilling into the swing arm is just nuts. And, like most on the forum, I do love originality. Thanks again
No worries at all, don't mean to put a damperener on it, just to give you ammunition and knowledge prior to purchase. It's certainly not original enough to justify a high price
how about this one? looks like Japanese import, nothing to fear there, not completely standard, carbon sil-moto cans etc. If it's of some interest I could look it over for you, it's not far from here. (for the avoidence of doubt I have no connection with sale / seller) 1996 Ducati 900SS | eBay
Thank you so much for looking and offering to go and view, greatly appreciated. Not too sure on this one though. It looks a bit grubby to me with corroded front discs, tatty forks and missing that lug above the headlight.
Here's a nice example, depending on your budget https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/36394124...=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20220811040235&segname=11021
^^^^ That was sold at auction for about £4785 and was up for around £5995 on ebay for about 12 months just dropped to the price it is now 2 months ago ? i was on google looking at 900ss and this came up a while ago. Looks very pretty and in good condition could be a deal to be had as been sitting in the showroom a long time.
With the risk of asking you guys your opinions of every 900SS that comes to market….. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/22511139...GRNhCFcRYa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY this one seems nice. The only things that I’m not sure about is the price (seems high-ish), the mileage (again a bit high?), the gearbox mod and the repair to the frame. Any other comments would be fab. Thanks as always
High Mileage ? its 25years old its barely covered 1500 miles PA !!! In what universe is that high mileage?
Can anyone confirm if that should have the stabilising rod on the back brake of that one? Mines an early over slung
