This is a beautiful Ducati 900SS [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2023-07-26

I have never really been a Ducati fan, however, this bike is beautiful! This 1980 900SS has a lovely cafe-style fairing, a magnificent black and gold paint job, and Dell'Orto carbs to keep you constantly fiddling!

BaT:

This 1980 Ducati 900SS is finished in black with gold accents and is powered by an 864cc square-case L-twin paired with a five-speed transmission. Equipment includes a half fairing, a clear windscreen, clip-on handlebars, a black leather solo seat, rear-set foot controls, and a tail section with a storage compartment as well as triple disc brakes, a Marzocchi fork, Koni shocks, cast alloy wheels, a steering damper, dual Dell'Orto carburetors, an electronic ignition module, pod air filters, and a two-into-two exhaust system with chrome Conti megaphone mufflers. The bike underwent a refurbishment at Austin Vintage Cycle just prior to its acquisition by the seller in 2017. It is now offered with a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller's name.

These pipes are so shiny it is incredible. A mortal motorcycle would show far more signs of bluing.
