I loved the original 900ss and when I started working at a dealership in 1992 and the owner announced that we were going to carry Ducati motorcycles, I literally began to drool . . . . . .
The first 900SS to come off the truck was set aside for my purchase. We didn't even open the box! I had no way of knowing if it was red. . . .or black . . . .full fairing or half!
After I sold three other bikes and paid cash for the balance, we opened the crate.
There was a Full Fairinged, Red 900SS and it was all mine!
I had that bike for two years and then the monster came out.... boy I have lusted for that bike for 15 years!
Anyhow, flash forward and now I'm drooling over the 796..... in white!
