Ducati Supersport description

Up for auction is my custom built 900SS - What I have dubbed a 944UL (UltraLight).

This pristine, low mileage (2099 ORIGINAL MILES) Ducati SuperSport started it's life as a 900SS/CR.

I stripped it down to the frame and began upgrading and customizing it with only the highest end parts keeping in mind a "resto-mod" theme and keeping it period specific.  The frame is original and even has it's original stickers, which I decided to leave. 

The engine is a full 944 race motor with significant modification and upgrades to the internals - specs listed below.

The wheels are a one-off set of RotoBox Carbon Fiber wheels, painted Ducati red with some sneaky accents revealing the carbon weave.  The rear has been upgraded to a 6" wide wheel wrapped in a 190 series tire.  The front is stock width at 3.5".  

The front suspension was upgraded, using the bones from a 900SS/SP, the internals were removed and upgraded by Traxxion Dynamics.  I had the fork tubes anodized black, and the lowers powder-coated black.  Holding them in place is a new billet triple from Corse Dynamics.  The rear shock is a Penske Triple-Way adjustable shock with remote reservoir and custom red spring from Eibach.  

Moving to the swing arm, I used a racing swing arm from MetMachex Engineering with quick change concentric adjuster.  

The bike has been converted to 520 chain pitch and 15/45 sprockets to take advantage of the quick revving motor and added torque.  I used an EK3D chain, the best on the market.

To upgrade braking, Beringer AeroTec 6 piston billet calipers were used upfront with BrakeTech full floating discs.  The rear is a one piece, billet slim caliper from Beringer paired with a BrakeTech floating rotor.  In addition to the calipers, the hand controls are from Beringer and are one piece billet with integrated reservoirs.  An EVR clutch slave was added to ease clutch feel.  Red Spiegler lines are used for all connections.

The hand controls are seated WoodCraft clip ons which ease the riders position and makes the bike incredibly comfortable to ride.

The rear sets are also from WoodCraft.

The bodywork has all been replaced/refinished with Ducati Perla White - which was used on the white S4RS monster.  This paint is simply gorgeous and has a deep fine pearl look with some bronze in the sunlight.  I had custom decals made to reflect the 944 motor and replace the factory ones.  The seat was made by a custom upholstery shop using high grade marine vinyl on the bronze surround and genuine Alcantara fabric - NOT microsuede.  It is quilted with green / red cross stitching.

The exhaust is all Titanium, custom built by StradaFab.  The design of this exhaust is specific for maximum engine performance and the header pipes are longer and larger than stock.  The 2-1 collector back to the silencer was also enlarged and lengthened to maximize performance.  I have to say, it sounds absolutely incredible.

There are many other small upgrades like a carbon rear brake reservoir, Rizoma signals on the rear, custom made tail tidy, custom steel seat support (the mono tail is notorious for not having enough support), a hard to find red windscreen, original Cagiva gas filler, and much more.

Final wet-weight is 385lbs.

Here are engine specifications:

944 SuperSport / V2 Heads
  • Pistal PIstons
  • Corillo H-Beam Rods
  • Larger Valves, Titanium valve guides
  • Ported / Polished V2 Heads
  • Ported Intake Manifolds
  • Balanced, weight reduced, knife edged crank
  • VeeTwo Cams, Degreed
  • Lightened Flywheel
  • Larger NCR type oil cooler
  • FrenTuBo Lines
  • FCR41 Carbs
  • K&N Filters
  • Billet velocity stacks
  • EVR Slipper Clutch 
  • Titanium fasterners used throughout

Motor was dyno tuned and produced 104HP / 78Ft. Lbs. Torque at the rear tire.

I have receipts for everything and have just over $45,000.00 in this build.  If you were in Austin for the MotoGP race and stayed at the Ducati fan hotel, this bike was one of the ones displayed in the lobby.

Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.  

Good luck and happy bidding!  Remeber, this is a NO RESERVE auction. You are responsible for having the bike shipped or picking it up.
