shaun,

I had a 93 900 ss just like the bike you had. I thought 93 was a great year as I loved the silver frame and the gloss black wheels looked very "superbike". the only difference was that I had brembo floaters and giacomoto high pipes...sounded sweet!!!

the 900 ss was a great back road tool and while never one to win a drag race...the look, the feel, the torque...the handling was enough to always be one of the fast guys in the twisties.

oh yeah...power wheelies were to be done at every stop light

I think someone got a set of CR or "half" of a 1997 set like you say, and did the best they could.

a jewel of a bike and getting prettier w/ each passing year!!! hold on to her tightly!!

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Well said Sir!

If I had had more time to ride it, I would have kept it. It was addictive, but it competed with a lightweight 73 with a 3.2. If I had become the rider I was the driver in that car, it would still be with me.

I had a 93 ss with floaters and a D&D exhaust. Addictive torque. Great handling. If only it didn't kill my wrists.

Watch the low back corners of your tanks, water settles there and they rust through.

1991 was the best color combo year!

Yup. I've owned mine for about six years, and I've already put over 50,000 miles on it. It's the bike I ride the most out of the four I own. Bottomless torque and endless smiles...

We're going to have to conduct some kind of intervention or something.

I though you might be a fellow staffer at CW? If so, pretty cool. Those were good days for the MC industry.

For sure... to me, the prettiest, most effective modern bike ever from Ducati (other than the Desmosedici). Just sold a red 02 Mono a few days ago. Its headed to the Bay Area right now on a truck. Really torn selling it, but making room for more GP bikes. I'm gonna miss it.

don, that looks like a 91. the 851 and 888's were very exotic in the day. today you see a ducati on the road wherever you look. back in the early to mid 90's, seeing a ducati and hearing one roar down the road was an event!! they were simply a rare sighting. the bikes are still fabulous today but I really do think the super elite status of ducati began to wane with the purchase of that little group in texas.
