The Ducati 900 S2 is a testament to ingenuity in the face of adversity. Launched in 1982 as a direct replacement for the iconic 900 SS, this bike had to overcome significant challenges to prove itself.
With its four-stroke, 90L twin-cylinder engine featuring bevel gear-driven SOHC and 2 valves per cylinder, the S2 boasts an impressive power-to-weight ratio. Its handling is exceptional, thanks in part to sharing a frame with the Mike Hailwood Replica Ducatis.
Despite being built during a difficult financial period for Ducati, when R&D was severely curtailed due to surging Japanese competition and stringent emissions regulations, the S2’s transmission and handling have earned it a loyal following. With its potential for power upgrades through exhaust and carburettor modifications, this bike has become a cult classic among enthusiasts.
The result of these challenges is a highly capable machine that not only met but exceeded expectations, making the Ducati 900 S2 an unforgettable riding experience.
