Description

** Buy It Now price INCLUDES a brand new OEM RH fairing factory painted the correct silver F.E. color. Still in original box and extremely difficult to find. Fairing is NOT included at any price other than the BIN price. **Offered here is my truly exceptional 1998 Ducati 900SS Final Edition (190/300). I spent over a year searching for the best example of a 900SS that I could find and was lucky enough to find this one around March 2014. It had been previously owned by two fanatical owners who kept every registration receipt manual service record and magazine article related to this bike since its initial purchase in 1999. I am posting this with a profound sense of seller's remorse but with a new baby and a growing track bug it is time to pass her along to a new owner. Service history is up-to-date and thoroughly documented in the binder that comes with the bike. Belts and tires were replaced 04/02/14.You undoubtedly know what this bike is if you're seriously considering purchasing it so I won't spend time describing the standard features specs etc. The bike is stock with the following exceptions:

  • Keihin Flat Slide CR Carbs (approx $950). Original Mikuni carbs are included; makes a nice door stop / boat anchor.
  • Spark High Mount Carbon Slip Ons (approx $650). Original cans are included.
  • Yoyodyne Clutch Slave Cylinder.
There are a few relatively minor imperfections to consider noted below:
  • Scratch (see pic) on RH fairing caused by driveway tip-over.
  • Small area of engine paint deterioration (see pic) caused by weeping OEM clutch slave. Aforementioned OEM clutch slave was replaced with Yoyodyne unit.
  • If I were going to hold on to this bike I'd have the forks and rear shock serviced as you might expect with any 15+ year old bike. The rear swingarm also squeaks a little on compression.

In my opinion this SS will be regarded as a classic at some point in the not-too-distant future. Gorgeous looks infectious noises from the 2V air-cooled twin and an elegant simplicity that we aren't likely to see on a production bike again. Located in Nashville TN. Inspections from serious buyers welcome. Clear title in hand.
