[Moto] Dream bikes for sale: Ducati 900 Superlight 1993 pristine

[#Wittels-]

A treasure as bright as amber

We usually associate red with Ducati, but the truth is that the Italian manufacturer has also let us fantasize about their bikes in other colors. This 1993 Ducati 900 Superlight is a sample and it can also be yours if you win the auction.

 

It has always been in Ducati's DNA to offer limited editions of its most exclusive bikes to offer the lucky ones the closest thing to a racing bike that exists. That happens today and we have the desired Ducati Superleggera V4, but it was already almost 30 years ago when it put the motorcycle that has caught our attention on the market. This is the Ducati 900 Superlight, which hit the market in 1992 with spectacular components and figures for the time. To tell the truth, removing the figures from, it is a motorcycle so exclusive in its time that most of today's motorcycles do not have everything that was offered.

We took the DeLorean and landed in 1992, when this jewel worthy of a museum was first purchased. It was, clearly, a motorcycle prepared directly to remove the headlights and enter the circuit. Carbon was part of its bodywork, we found magnesium in the rims (the spokes), first class suspensions signed by Showa with the fully adjustable inverted front fork as well as the rear shock absorber, Brembo brakes both the caliper and the front double disc. 320 mm, monoposto tail, Mikuni carburettor ... In short, the best of the house at that time. The air-cooled engine was a two-cylinder desmodromic engine that, when new, delivered 80 hp. It may not sound like a lot of power today, but it was the cream for a twin at the time.

 

 

Well, it also turns out that it was a limited edition that was being produced until 1996 and there is a unit that is up for auction right now. It is the unit 903 (from 1993) as certified by the plate that we see on its seat post. It must be said that, according to what we know about the bike and the photos we have seen, its condition is impeccable, although they do warn us that before it starts riding again it needs maintenance to bring it up to date. In any case, it is a motorcycle that has spent much of its life as an exhibition piece, although it has 7,206 miles on its scoreboard and we are talking about a motorcycle that has spent its entire life in the United States.

As we can see in the photos, it has typical details of the racing motorcycles of that time such as watches (one of which has a small notch) inserted in foam to counteract vibrations. We also see, along with some rust on the exhaust, carbon protectors, as well as both fenders in the same material. The bike is fully standard (including extremely ugly mirrors) and aesthetically in perfect condition. An exclusive piece that is up for auction and has already reached $ 14,000. A figure that we are sure will exceed before it reaches the hands of its new owner when the auction closes in a couple of days. Until then we can dream about her.
