Review
My return to biking after a break of around 10 years consisted of me walking through the village I live in and seeing a bike parked with a for sale sign on in the garden of a house.
This bike was a bright red Ducati 900 Superlight Desmodue Series 5 number 442 I think and I loved it because of the noise from the exhausts and the performance / handling of the air cooled twin. My wife said it sound like bolts being rattled in a biscuit tin........but of course this was because the Ducati uses a dry clutch insted of the wet clutch of most Japanese machines. I recall one outing on the Duke I ended up in the middle of a thunderstorm in the far North West of Scotland (Aultnacealach) in fact it was so bad I had to stop for a coffee at an Inn. After around half an hour the storm passed and I ventured out to the bike....Ducati have the reputation for not liking adverse weather...but this little Duke did me proud, and we roared off to Ullapool, then home on streaming wet roads with the engine never missing a beat. Great little bike, I would have another.

This is my second 900ss. I had the last one for 2 years and sold it for a 1200 bandit. Had the bandit for a year and decided to get the 2002 900ss. Stunning colour scheme. The suspension has been improved and there is a lighter swingarm fitted. You can feel the difference on twisty roads. Its a good, strong, smooth motor and above all serious fun!! It comes into its own on open roads. Ducati got rid of the flip up stand and put a microswitch on it so you cannot run the bike on the sidestand. Bit of a ball-ache!! Thats my only niggle.
