The Ducati 900 S2 is a testament to Italian ingenuity and determination in the face of adversity. Its development was shaped by the financial struggles of the European manufacturers during the late 1970s and early 1980s, yet it emerged as a refined and capable motorcycle.
This four-stroke, 90L twin-cylinder engine features a SOHC design with two valves per cylinder, driven by bevel gears. The S2’s engine character is characterized by its smooth and progressive power delivery, making it an enjoyable machine to ride.
Despite being overshadowed by its predecessor, the Ducati 900 SS, the S2 boasts significantly improved transmission and handling that rivals some of the best European motorcycles. Its lightweight frame and agile chassis make it a pleasure to navigate twisty roads, while its ample power reserves allow for spirited riding.
The result is a bike that not only meets but exceeds expectations, making the Ducati 900 S2 an exceptional machine that stands out in its class.
