Fabio Taglioni, the man behind the Desmodromic valve train of the earliest Ducati v-twins, played a massive role in the motorcycles we ride today. The claimed horsepower of the 1981 Ducati 900ss isn't as impressive as you might think, but the seat of the pants dyno will tell the rider otherwise. The incredibly liner power curve mixed with the throaty sound of the Conti pipes makes it hard to ride this bike like the mature rider you thought you were.
The silver paint with blue accents really make this bike stand out. Gold FPS wheels give the Bridgestone BT45 tires something to hold onto. Recently rebuilt front brake master cylinder makes bringing the bike to a stop easy, with plenty of feel. With one swift kick of the leg the bike comes to life with a roar that cant be mistaken.
