Another addition to the garage family...

Just got this on Friday. '98 900SS Final Edition #118/300. I took it out for a short ride Saturday, and it's surprisingly strong. They Hyper is smoother above 5k, but the power difference is less than I expected. The SS has Ferracci pipes, an open airbox with K&N filter, and a jet kit. It sounds amazing!

True that! A 2 valve with a proper 2 pipe set is what made the ducati sound famous.

When I first bought my 93SS I had the same seat, fender and a set of D&D carbon high mounts. That thing was louder than the hammers of hell but sounded amazing. In 96, I had Doug Cook do a one off spaghetti system. That is a work of welding art I have never seen the equal of. Still sounds fantastic, but I miss that D&D boom.

BTW, congratulations. You have a keeper.

Beautiful bike. My neighbor had one of those for a short time. That was the first Ducati I ever rode. Made a big impression on me. The rock solid handling blew me away.
