Find one with Spotter →Ducati 750 & 800 & 900 & 1000 sold for a median of $6,000 over the last 12 months, based on 17 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $3,834 and $8,461.
The Ducati Supersport (SS) line has long represented the brand's quintessential air-cooled sportbike, offering a more street-focused and accessible alternative to its liquid-cooled superbikes. Spanning from the early carbureted 900 SS to the later fuel-injected 1000 DS, these models are celebrated for the character of their 2-valve Desmodue L-twin engine. Their simple, raw, and engaging riding experience is a major draw for collectors seeking an analog connection that modern sportbikes often lack.
The market for these bikes is quite broad, with standard 750 and 900 models remaining very affordable. It's the special, limited-production versions that attract serious collector interest and drive high prices. Models like the 900 Superlight (SL), the Senna, and the Final Edition (FE) are coveted for their exclusivity and higher-spec components. Today, the core models represent a great value, while the top-tier examples have proven to be solid investments, with the best bikes commanding prices comparable to contemporary superbikes.
Buying Tips
- Insist on detailed service records. The Desmodue engine requires regular valve adjustments and timing belt changes every 2 years or 12,000 miles, which is expensive to neglect.
- On 1999-2002 models, check for flaking chrome on the rocker arms, a known factory defect that requires engine work to correct.
- Inspect the plastic fuel tank on 1999 and later models for swelling or deformation. Exposure to ethanol in modern fuel causes them to expand, leading to poor fit and paint bubbling.
- Check the clutch. Both the wet and dry clutches can wear, but the dry clutch on high-performance models is a signature Ducati sound and should be inspected for worn baskets and plates.
- Verify the model specification. The 'S' models came with upgraded suspension (Öhlins rear shock), and limited editions like the Superlight or Final Edition should have documentation to prove their authenticity.
Prices range from $330 for project bikes to $40,000 for rare, low-mileage special editions.
