Been perusing the classifieds and eBay for a while now, and I have never seen a SS1000 listed anywhere. On the ducati.com website, I see that they made a SS1000 from 2003-2006. Are these incredible bikes that nobody ever wants to get rid of, or was the 1000 not released in the USA? Seen plenty of the older 900s and 750s, but no 1000s.

I've got half of one, but it's not for sale. ;D
They pop up on eBay occasionally, but not that often. Also, there are a couple of racing clubs where the 1000DS is competitive and its not unusual to see former race bikes being sold.
I've seen a couple pop up on cycletrader. Not many SS's around as a whole, because sales of them weren't that great.
Ahhh, just found one on cycletrader. Why were sales of them not so great? Hope it wasn't because they sucked. I really like the looks of them, and it would be nice to have an air cooled sport bike.
If you see this one pop up, feel free to beat the shit out of the seller, then call me (or the polizi).
My all time favorite bike!

I'm not selling mine. I also have a 2001 SS900 and they're pretty similar and more readily available. A yellow SS1000 just sold on ebay in Houston for $5K so they're out there. Go over to ducati.ms in the Supersport section and ask if anyone has one available. The last time someone did that there were a couple available.
Found one near me (setup as race bike and pricey): http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=9600871&cat=&lpid= (http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=9600871&cat=&lpid=)
Also a 900ss: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=9600417&cat=&lpid= (http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=9600417&cat=&lpid=)
Check out the different track forums. Every season guys sell their bikes and, like Spidey mentioned, these bikes are very popular.
