Quote from: Riding Free on October 06, 2006, 05:23:59 PM Hello Will , Thanks for the info. I sold the bike to a pretty well known Dacatisti from Toledo Ohio area. I have heard it now resides with a Detroit area Triumph parts dealer whom I used to deal back and forth with about 25 years ago. It was positively an SS not an S2. Perhaps the title date and GMs involvement had some issues but the ID tag as I recall and title for sure called it a 1984.I still have an old Michigan registration . It had the early style frame, the race kit goodies and the beautiful Contis not those ugly Eastern looking mufflers fitted to the S2.Kick start only and not the S2 style cases. In any event it was a very real 900SS Ducati and titled and probably tagged a 1984. It was only here because GM wanted one. It did come direct from Italy.From your description it is an earlier model bike titled as an '84, which was common, and that would've been even more likely considering that GM bought it for their own reasons (not likely to include rides in the country :-) and so they didn't necessariy need to title it. Ciao!Will

Ciao!Will My curiousity has been aroused. I will try to get hold of Kenny and have him check the tag. I sold the bike about 20 years ago but for some readon I recall the neck tag showing a 1984 build date. It seems that issue came up when I sold the bike. If I had seen 1982 I would have been more likely to have started referring to it as an 82. Stay tuned I'll try to confirm.

Stay tuned I'll try to confirm.OK, as you have probably noticed, I like old Italian motorcycles, and learning about them :-)If it has right side shifter, it is a 75. Rare. If it has crossover from right side shaft to left side shifter, it is a 76-77. If it has left hand shift shaft, silver/blue or black/gold with straight stripes, it is a 78-80. If its silver with curved blue stripes (like the picture) its an 81-82.Ciao!Will
Got that . Haven't been paying a lot of attention to Ducatis since the 900 was sold. Just a rider not a colllector My 1974 was a right foot shift, 750 Sport it was the only other Duc V twin that I owned.I rode it A LOT more than I ever cared to ride the 900.It was born school bus color and wound up quite red. At the time I had the 900 I was involved in a kidney transplant.That kind of put motorcycles on the back burner for a while. The 900 was silver and blue. The 750 Sport was originally sold at Blackie's in Detroit. The conversion to red was done by Greg R. You probably know him or of him. I would rather not mention specific names here.
that's wonderful.I remember when I was passing by the walkboard on my Lambretta and the girl in the bikini waved at me with a hot-dog. I immediately parallel-parked the Civic at the town square and walked to the department store for a cheese danish. Man! that oil was expensive; but I took it like a man and ordered the Calvin Klein 34-B. When I got home I emptied the fish pond, lit the grill and threw the sheets in the garage.Makes a lot of sense.
