The 1996 Ducati 900SL Super Light is one of the most agile sportbikes available on the market up to the mid 90s. It comes with a 41mm Showa fully-adjustable upside-down fork in the front, an adjustable monoshock in the rear with a progressive linkage, a full-fairing, a single seat, a dual exhaust system, a carbon-fiber mudguard and clutch cover, a windscreen and an analogue instrumentation panel. The most impressive aspect of this machine is its lightness, tipping the scale at just 176 kg.

While the 851 reaps success both on and off the track, Ducati is also dedicated to another type of motorcycle that is particularly popular with Ducatisti around the world: the 900 Superlight, which represents a limited edition of the 900 SS.

With its single-seat configuration, the 900 Superlight is another example of how Ducati is able to be ahead of its time in the field of research and development, especially in the area of weight reduction. Building motorcycles as light as possible has always been a priority: lightness, in fact, ensures better handling and greater performance, as well as guaranteeing safety and fun riding.

When the 900 Superlight first appeared on the market in 1992, it featured numerous components developed to reduce the overall weight of the motorcycle. The quest for lightness, which 30 years later would return with the 1199 Superleggera, is achieved through a selection of the best materials: the carbon fiber fenders, the fiberglass single-seat tail, the rod rear brake reaction rod in carbon fiber and the decomposable rims in aluminum and magnesium.

This particular AUSTRALIAN DELIVERED example is offered to the International market for $24,999 AUD and is factory build number #143. The Italian motorcycle will need to be fully serviced if the buyer wants to ride on the road in Australia. In some cases, our collectors / buyers might just want to make it part of his or her collection and would prefer the motorcycle un touched and still in its original condition.
