1998 Ducati 900SS FE

Description

The FE stands for 'Final Edition', nd the 900SS FE was a last special production run of the old carburetor-equipped SS before it was replaced in 1998. Based around the 900SS Superlight, he FE had special cosmetics, tuned engine, nd elegant chassis changes. The special silver single-seat bodywork was wrapped around a modified engine, ith race-style high-level exhaust pipes. The front brakes have cast-iron racing discs and the black wheels are lightweight. A carbon-fibre clock surround, hainguard, udguard and body panels complete the high spec. The FE's performance was only slightly improved over the standard bike, nd it was really intended as a special celebration of the old model. Only 800 were produced.Limited to just 300 bikes in North America, he 900SS FE is the last of the 2nd generation SuperSports to be produced by the Bologna factory.Based on the 900SS SP, he FE comes dressed in elegant silver bodywork and black wheels, ith carbon fiber rear fender, ashboard cover, nd countershaft drive cover. A solo (monoposto) seat completes the stunning visual impression.

But there's more than just skin deep beauty in the FE.

To back up the race-bred look, few additional changes have been made as well. The exhaust pipes have been raised to provide improved cornering clearances. New cast iron floating brake rotors have been fitted with remote reservoirs and adjustable levers. New cylinders, lternator, nd voltage regulator have been added. The resulting combination will assure that the thrill of the ride matches the beauty of the machine. To further secure it's place in the DUCATI legacy, he top triple clamp of each FE will be fitted with a consecutively numbered commemorative plaque. There will be no doubt as to the special position the FE will assume in the heritage of the most sought after sport motorcycles in the world.
