1991 Ducati 900SS V Twin

Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Reportedly raced at Silverstone by John Bains of Bains Racing
  • Engine enhanced with stage 2 tuning for the race track
  • Rare twin headlight conversion
  • Fitted with Arias 92mm pistons and Dyno jet 2
  • Featured as the new bike in Bike Magazine 1991

The Appeal

Introduced in 1990, the Ducati 900SS V-Twin is not, perhaps, what one would consider a rare bike. However, this one is purported to have quite a history! 
We're informed that this attractive red example was customised for racing at Silverstone by Bains Racing, and that was raced by John Bains himself. Besides this, the bike has been modified with a rare twin headlight conversion, Arias 92mm pistons, and a stage two tuning kit. It's a cover star, too, appearing on the front page Bike Magazine in 1991. Long story short, this is a one-off - a real collector's piece!
