Generally considered to be the definitive café racer of the 1970’s, Ducati’s 900SS was introduced in 1975, remaining in production until 1982. Race-bred, following Ducati’s success at Imola in 1972, the 900SS was produced alongside the equally legendary 750SS. Powered by an 864cc engine the 900SS would rev to 7,900rpm and top speed was only for the fearless. Cast alloy wheels and the distinctive black and gold livery were introduced for the 900SS in 1978 and in that year the model achieved highest acclaim with the return of Mike Hailwood to the Isle of Man TT and his legendary victory on that occasion on a factory prepared 900SS. This road model, to original specification in all major respects, has had just two previous owners and had been dry stored from 1987 to 2000. It was recommissioned and used during 2000/01 and the recorded mileage of 19,150 miles is believed correct. Recent work has included the fitting of a new chain and sprockets, clutch, steering head races and new rear coil spring damper units. We are advised that the engine oil and brake fluid have been changed in September and a very recently issued MoT is offered with the machine along with a Swansea registration document.
