The Ducati 900SS – a bike that’s more than just a pretty face. Its air-cooled two-valve twin engine is an experience in itself, with its distinctive rumble and clatter that harks back to the golden days of motorcycling.
Its midrange monster potential has been well-documented, but what really sets it apart is its street-focussed character. With a fat midrange, shorter gearing than its 998 sibling, and 20 pounds less weight, this bike is the perfect companion for carving up twisty roads or cruising through city streets.
But don’t let its friendly ego and seat fool you – beneath its retro styling lies a potent package that’s more than capable of keeping up with its sportier rivals. And on the track? Well, let’s just say it’s a different story altogether, but still one to be reckoned with.
