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. 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.
This 900SS is in touring trim featuring high rise top yoke blocks with a straight handlebar and dual seat. Fitted with an MPH odometer displaying 12, 628 (at the time of cataloguing/ photography) believed genuine miles, this 900SS will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent following a period of inactivity and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying documentation consists of a current/ old V5C Registration Certificate, expired MoT certificates, 1999 Southern Cross invoice (for a clutch kit/ cambelts), Haynes service and repair manual, Spyball Patriot alarm booklet, Ducati owners manual and an expired tax disc. It should be noted that the frame number recorded in the V5C is '025994'. The full frame number is 'ZDM906SCthe details below' and that no engine number is recorded in the V5C.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
