Another 900SS/SP

Looks good, but I'm confused by the lettering on the fairing side (hollow "Ducati"). I thought that was old style and by that point they'd switched to the "SuperSport DesmoDue" solid lettering. Sign of a crash in it's history?

Prefer the hollow "DUCATI" to some of the writing on previous versions, maybe the owner feels the same ;)

I'm thinking of this Guzzi Griso tho: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/mcy/2002625599.html
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Hmmm. '91 would be cool just because it's an early model, and the white frames are neat (although white wheels are a beyotch to keep looking nice), but no pictures and needs "a little tlc or tune up"? Sounds like 2000 worth of problems. Then again maybe talk him down to 1500? Winter's coming...

99 Cagiva Gran Canyon-"FOR SALE", PM for details.
98 Monster 900(trackpregnant dog-soon to be made my Fiancee's upgrade streetbike)
2010 KTM 990 SM-T

I'm pretty sure you're right. Plus a lot of other things were upgraded between then and 95 / 96. If I remember correctly, it was the late 80s / early 90s ones that gave the 900SS a bad rep.

I would suggest this one instead: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2020963689.html

$400 more but you get FCR carbs, bunch of nichols parts and other goodies. Plus I prefer carbs to fuel injection, but I'm a bit looney.  [cheeky]

In general I have to say tho, come fall there quite a lot of deals that surface up. I guess people don't want to have to deal with the hassle of storing bikes over winter. Not a problem for me tho, I ride! [moto]

No, the early SS models had the same frame as the SportNuovo and did not have the problems that I am aware of -- most of them were sold in Europe though -- and no one I talk to over there has mentioned it.

90% of the SS frames that have cracked were 1995 models.  the rest are 1996.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Very!!  That's the tank I need for the SC.
Heh, those are the bars and risers I need for the 900.

Group buy?  [laugh]

Meh, not for me. I do like how the engine seems magically suspended, though.

I'll take the forks and rear shock. ;D
