You would be amazed just how many of us right here on this forum own 900SS's. Probably half a dozen or more. Gogar, one of the more recent to join our little club, once lamented he had "become a PPOT stereotype".
I've always seen my '72 911 hot-rod in pretty much the same light as my 900SS - not the most modern, most powerful, fastest, or best handling by any means, but somehow eminently suited to those 35-50-ish mph back roads. Both are "cafe racers" in their own right. Lots of crossover between the two.
Interestingly, the subject of HD and Ducati cross-over ownership comes up quite often in both circles. Both readily acknowledge that it is a "thing". I remember a few years back, prior to Ducati having been purchased by Audi, that they made overtures to HD. HD turned Ducati down, and instead (somewhat infamously) purchased MV Agusta. Like that was a better "fit"? That little relationship, of course, did not last very long at all when HD discovered just how dysfunctional MV Agusta really were.
I wonder where both would be today had that merger occurred.
