I remember going to the dealer back then. I still have the brochure where he wrote $4,999 on it for the SS. Oh, what the heck, I'll give you $5K right now for that old thing. Cash. (BTW, no reason to pump the tickler, just hold it down a few seconds)
should be a big duke in every motoboy's history. but they are history, better bikes now available.were avilable thx to practical japanese engineers. the 750 water-bottle just as fast, bit smoover, more reliable, and much cheaper. had to close my eyes while buying one, but you got used to it.
I used to lust after one those.....until a friend let me ride his. Terribly uncomfortable, awful seating position and arm cramps. Couldn't even finish the ride on it and traded bikes with someone else in our group. Saved me the hassle of buying one and then having to sell it shortly after!

Beautiful machine, there's just something about those big Ducati vee twins. However they don't have a reputation for doing starship mileages.
What a lovely tick-over.
What a beast of a bike.
YEs-- a well set up 900SS is sweet thing
The form, color, sound, everything in design. Makes me tear up, bro 😂 that’s a fantastic bike!
They are gems
That's what you call a real bike
Agreed
Same routine for mine, but I usually free up the clutch as well

Not all ticklers are created equal
A US model in black/gold?
I thought the b/g models were UK only?
Lovely bike...reminds me of working at Three Cross Motorcycles in 1978-9.
Who doesn't love a bevel drive
A thing of beauty 👌😎
Beautiful. Not recommended as a getaway in a bank robbery though.😊
Lol, tank bag, rear bag & some soft panniers. Would provide plenty of room for the mula!
Automotive artwork
Agreed-- one off the best of the the late 70's
that is where burning petroleum and art meet
YESSSSS!
Mike the bike hailwood would be proud..i would be!
To kind -- thank you
Yeah, and better check the valve clearances every 2000 miles, bro...$1500 a pop.

Is a 'water-bottle' what we called a 'kettle' in the UK...ie the Suzuki GT750?
Seriously, they aren't even on the same page.
