Ducati Supersport 900 reviews

If I said all I wanted to say, I would be writing a 5000 word essay. This bike rocks, maybe not the fastest bike out there, but hey, we are riding on normal roads with speed limits. The handling is phenomenal, power is fantatstic, & the riding position is agressive enough without killing you. With some additional acessories, (ie Performance carbon cans & & few other mods) , it looks great & sounds just as well. Once you get a Duc , you will never go back. Show less

The trick to the Supersport is the weight. At about 415lbs it's a light bike. But the 750cc version is underpowered. It would be much better to go for the 900cc or the newer 1000cc dual-spark models, which get you about 80 hp after the mandatory exhaust, air cleaner and EFI upgrade. Replace the flywheel with a lighter Ducati Performance one and consider a slight regearing and you'll have one of the fastest real-world bikes around. Pick up from a standing start is awesome and plenty of punch for all but the certified insane. A lot of 40 something sportbike riders end up on these. A bike you can enjoy owning for years, that is as nice to look at today as when it rolled out. Oh, yeah, if you do decide to get something else (999 anyone?) you'll find the resale on Ducati's is much better than on most Japanese bikes. Not for everyone, but a pleasure to ride with the signature fast but stable handling that made the marquee. Show less

The bike might not be the fastest out there. But definitely one of the most artistic ones. The design is beautiful, not much extra hanging, overdone parts or space. The sound is lovely, even the Harley guys will turn their heads. The look of it is just a piece of art. Just knowing by having one is like having a piece of museum pieces. And for those speed kings out there. It is a wheelie machine... the top speed might lack compare to the inline 4's but I think the rest of the package just covers it. Show less

When you have a bike like this. She is sensuous and beautiful. If you can't see that, you won't like it. She appeals to the senses. She is eye candy and I love to wax her voluptuous curves as much as ride her. The sounds she makes are melodious. Her smell is intoxicating. She stacks curves in a graceful manner that other bikes can't touch. My wife is getting jealous of the attention I lavish upon her. Bravissimo Ducati! Show less

I bought my 2000 750 SS last month from a guy in UT (I'm in CA) and drove it back 800 miles. I had no problems on that 10.5 hour trip nor any since. I love this bike. It isn't supposed to be very comfortable, but I drove the entire trip in 1 day with no pain. This bike is so much fun, you'll never want to get on any of those inferior Japanese exports again. Italy rocks. Show less

I decided to jump back into the motorcycle scene now that my kids are a little more self sufficient. I'm a little to old for the severe riding position of the 600's (GSXR etc.). It came down to the Speed Triple and the Monster. I chose the monster! What can I say? It looks amazing and has the performance to match. I have been out riding with friends on supersports and have no trouble keeping up. The handling is inspiring and the acceleration is nice and smooth as the engine is torquey even at low revs. And then there is the intangible of owning "the Ferrari of motorcycles". Everywhere I go, people comment on the beauty. It's the right bike for those of us who want to ride, but don't want the pain and suffering of a supersport. Show less

I always wanted a Duc, my Indian was in the shop, they were making deals on 2002 leftovers. I am 44 and this bike is my 12th it is just a lot of fun. I know it wont beat a honyamakawsuki except maybe in the twisties when it gets tight. Then again it has a lot more class and gets a lot more respect from those that know. Hmmm maybe a MV Agusta next, gonna need a bigger garage. Show less

I didn't ride for about 20 years and saw one of these and new I had to have one. Have not been disappointed. Extraordinary handling, braking, acceleration and ..oh yeah... it is drop dead gorgeous. I have added titanium Leo Vince pipes and a larger rear sprocket. The thing just flat out flies. Buy one. Show less

I sold my T509 Triumph Speed Triple to get a mod S4. I loved the Trimuph, but the Duc is a challenge and I like it. I am starting to beleive it's the better of the two, though it is so much more expnsive I'm not sure. One just has to decide. I think once I have some time with the Ducati, it's going to be the better bike. Gobs of torque, but not easy to ride. Oh, if you're a poser, either will do, unless you get a pink Trimuph. Show less

I bought my first Duke last year, a new 900SSie full-fairing, and equipped it with the mandatory e-prom and well sounding pipes. I just must say that this is the best investment that I have done in and for my self. What a lovely bike! It is as beautiful shaped like a hot blooded curvy latina (you know well trimmed and curvy on the right places), has soul and personality that I haven't found on any other bike. It looks makes everybody turns their head, even an older woman asked me to start my Duke up, she said "I just love the way your bike sounds". Yes, I fulfilled her wish. The bike has enough performance for twisty roads and has very good corner capability and stability. The bike itself doesn't have any problems matching more high performing bikes on these type of roads. It depends on whose behind the fairing and that persons driving capability (this one is for you who complained that you got blown away by an R6). Anyone can go fast straight! Even though it is a sports bike you can go touring for 2 weeks with it. Of course you cannot bring the whole closet with you, if you want to do that buy a Sushi Goldwing. A tank bag and a saddle bag that you strap on the passenger seat is fine. Givi has a very good saddle bag. It even works at 120mph. Now I am just waiting to my Duke out for this years premiere ride. So far I have almost 6000 miles on her. Show less
