Unrestored 1979 Ducati 900SS black and gold bevel drive for sale. With only what clearly appears to be a genuine 3326 kms from new, this motorcycle appears to have clearly been untouched or messed about with and has only had three owners since new. Not only does it still retain the water slide decals, it also comes with the original 32mm Dellorto carbs, Lafranconi silencers, original steel air boxes in original paint, original tool kit, air box tubes, oil breather catch tank, small diameter inlet manifolds and original brake pipes. In addition to all of this, it comes with a black/gold Imola fuel tank and single seat. The motor is at present running 40mm Dellortos and Conti silencers. Finding another such museum quality 1979 Ducati 900SS black and gold for sale like this is highly unlikely, especially not with the original parts included. The motor still retains its lead seal, proving that the crankcases have never been split. The motorcycle is sold fully set up, beautifully running and ready for road use, as it should be. This is a Level 4 museum quality original 1979 Ducati 900SS unlike almost any other on the planet and offers a fantastic opportunity. This historic Ducati 900SS presents the new owner with an unparalleled example to enjoy, ride and display in the original condition it left the factory in, with warts and all.
1979 Ducati 900SS- Unrestored Black and Gold Bevel Drive
This 1979 Ducati 900SS- unrestored black and gold bevel drive- represents a great evolution in this model, just past the middle of production of these vintage Ducati motorcycles. The black and gold genuine models are becoming highly desirable by Ducati collectors, achieving excellent prices at auctions all over the world. As you can see from the previous link, one with higher mileage, without the original parts this one comes with, already brought US$^&,200 (£53,000 + shipping and 5% import VAT to the UK), making this example incredibly good value by comparison. Very few retained the original 32mm Dellortos, airboxes, breather catch tank, as they were thrown away once the 40mm Dellortos and Contis were fitted, when these machines were new. This motorcycle only had three owners from new, the first was in Germany who bought the machine new, but it scared him within the first 100 kms of use. His neighbour bought it from him after six months of ownership and they fitted the Contis, 40mm Dellortos and Imola tank and single seat. This particular owner absolutely loved the machine and ensured he took it to two shows a year to ensure he rode it, until he sold it to the present owner in 2020. Since 2020 it has been in safe storage at our premises in Devon where we have looked after it and have just recommissioned it for many more years of enjoyment. These collector’s Ducati 900SS were only ever made between 1975 and 1982 into very limited numbers. Already the 1975 bevel drive Ducati 900SS has become a vintage Ducati motorcycle which commands an outstanding price all over the world and is starting to chase the iconic Ducati green frame in price. These black and gold Ducati 900SS are now starting to rocket in value and are achieving incredible prices when they are in historic, unrestored condition like this example.
Unmodified Ducati 900SS
This highly desirable unmodified Ducati 900SS is a museum quality example and offers the chance to own probably the best example in the world of only a handful of similar examples. Retaining all of the original parts and the lead seal on the motor is almost unheard of with these machines. During the 1980s, for the next thirty years these unrestored Ducati 900SS had little or no value for decades. During that period of the machine’s life, maintenance was usually ignored and having old original parts taking up space just wasn’t something that owners of such machines had any passion for. This original 1979 Ducati 900SS is truly a unicorn of historic Ducati 900SS and is destined to become an iconic Italian classic motorcycle for any classic motorcycle museum.
