Title: 1996 900 SS with 11,000 miles Post by: muskrat on January 27, 2009, 09:20:35 AM what would you pay for the above bike? NADA doesn't show back to 1996. It looks clean.

that's the link for the SP...just shy of $4600 (i'm assuming it's not a CR?) and you're "allowed" over 43,000 miles... Title: Re: 1996 900 SS with 11,000 miles Post by: muskrat on January 27, 2009, 11:42:04 AM that's high. they want $3995.......now I'm curious.

I know one thing for sure. With those D&D cans everyone would hear you coming. Since Alan left we really don't have any seriously loud bikes in the group. [laugh] You know, the "set off all the car alarms in the parking lot" kind of loud. I think you need that bike. [thumbsup]

[thumbsup] It has rash on the left side fairing... boogering up the decals -so a touch-up paintjob will not work. :( It has the non-adjustable and pretty crappy CR font forks. It has the (non-desireable) steel swingarm. My max bid would be $3000.

I really like the looks of this SS but I tend to agree about the 3 grand max, OTD. I think there's some saying about the buyer of any used bike needing to be prepared to spend at least 25% of the purchase price just on the initial maintenance costs of getting the thing running reliably. Not sure if that applies to every used bike but I can say from experience that it has been spot on with 99% of the old sports cars we've had the Good luck with your negotiations [moto] Title: Re: 1996 900 SS with 11,000 miles Post by: svoloch on January 27, 2009, 06:01:36 PM my cruiser will set'em off all day/night long. sorry, he was talking about motorcycles.. not barcaloungers on fat rear tires...

Title: Re: 1996 900 SS with 11,000 miles Post by: muskrat on January 27, 2009, 09:23:03 PM here's the guys response. guess I'm not getting the bike :-[
Hi Dax, I am glad you get have seen the pictures and know that the bike is not perfect. The bike is 13 years old and in great shape considering the year. We have taken into consideration the condition, mileage and equipment on the unit when setting the price. I can understand that you would like to come up with a firm price before making the trip from Dallas. Based on your observations it looks like you are trying to anticipate "worst case" scenario, just as I would do. I did take your offer to the owner today and he said that since we are currently waiting on one more part to finish the service we will not be able to firm up the price for less than the 3995. I'm not saying he won't work with you, I just know that he is not at a point where he can justify lowering the price until all work is complete. Just to let you know the work that is being done is to the starter, nothing major. Now the owner did say that if you would like us to not finish the starter service he would sell the bike for 3500. Looks to me that we'll be able to work something out. Please let me know your thoughts, John Title: Re: 1996 900 SS with 11,000 miles Post by: muskrat on January 27, 2009, 09:26:22 PM I have NO luck, I give up. Here's another with AWEFUL orange flames

Andym even said it was horrible to follow :P It was. I had ear plugs in and it was bad, luckily I can't ride as fast as you so I was not behind you often. John did not have earplugs in and his ears were still ringing on Monday. :-[ Title: Re: 1996 900 SS with 11,000 miles Post by: RichD on January 28, 2009, 09:55:37 AM would love to but can't find one for the price I'm willing to pay on a 10 year old bike. To me, with the bike listed above, it is not so much the age. If the bodywork was not effed up and if it had adjustable forks I would give them about what they are asking... The old 900's are good running bikes, and with minor tweaking, will walk away from most current Ducs of similar displacement -Even two-up and with a dog in a sidecar! ;D Calcrazy (and others) who were on the Hill Country ride to the museum can attest to that.

[thumbsup] That's good info. I like the looks of the square headlight version and always thought it would make a good bike for me one day so I'm glad to hear it wasn't something terminal in the "stay-away" department... terminal like flaking rockers :o Title: Re: 1996 900 SS with 11,000 miles Post by: ducatiz on January 28, 2009, 04:01:29 PM To me, with the bike listed above, it is not so much the age.

[thumbsup] just make sure you know the issues with those bikes: - cracked frames - cracked swingarms - crank galley plugs improperly staked and back out - alternator bearing premature failure i have a 95 ss/sp and i love it. replaced the frame, and the alternator bearing, and am crossfingers on the rest. Title: Re: 1996 900 SS with 11,000 miles Post by: Cher on January 28, 2009, 04:27:15 PM :o Replaced the FRAME?!?! Title: Re: 1996 900 SS with 11,000 miles Post by: ducatiz on January 28, 2009, 05:32:55 PM Look it up.
1994-96 900SS bikes suffered from a defect in the yoke welds. Ducat was still replacing the frames for free even after warranty until about a year ago (they might still). You have to pay the labor charge, they supply the frame. It can also be fixed by gusseting the yoke. It did not happen on all bikes, probably about 10% of them. If the homologation label is riveted to the frame, then it is one of the bikes that may crack.
