- Motovlog alliance have a monthly vlog challenge. The July challenge was to review your own bike, either as a serious review or comedic version. Well, the Ducati MOT (inspection) was today, so it seemed a great opportunity to combine the two!

I own a 2000 that I bought new. I still love it, especially the sound. Also the fuel injection has had zero issues in 19 years. It runs like the day I brought it home. Thanks for the video.
John Alden hey rider !! Got my 900ss in 1991 , put 196.000 miles on it till I traded for a 2001 ST2. I loved mine !!!😄😄🍺🍺
Thanks, yeah, they are so much more reliable than the bar room 'experts' will tell you. Great bike.
Just bought a really clean year 2000 yellow bog stock 750ss off the back of your video Phil.....I fancied dipping my toe into Italian bike ownership without breaking the bank. Agree with everything you say matey, horrible in town, rock hard ride but keep the engine over 4 grand then the personality of the v twin comes through and makes for an entertaining ride.... Certainly not a beginners bike but I'm really pleased! 😉👍....... Another great vid by the way..
Thanks, really appreciate it. You have picked a great bike, the 750 is indestructible. Enjoy it, and thanks for watching 😎
I owned a carb 900ss and a 750ss, both great bikes. Preferred the 750, not as lumpy, felt lighter and has a wet clutch so none of that bag of spanners noise on tickover.
Thoroughly enjoyed the commentary
Thanks, appreciate it. Thanks for watching 😎
Best review I've seen of this bike, thanks. Don't know why people are so afraid of italian bikes, I've had a 2stroke Aprilia for 12 years and it still runs amazing. Maybe I'm just lucky.
I'd love to own one of these, would make for a perfect couple with my supermoto.
29once thanks, appreciated. Yup, Italian bikes are perfectly ok, I think problems stem from the owner more than the machine.
Bought a 1998 one of these two weeks ago. Has been sitting around for a while before I bought it. Replaced fork seals, belts and brake fluid. Great fun to own and so long as you keep up with the maintenance it's a lovely piece of kit. Good review.
Jamie Cunningham thanks! Enjoy the bike, they really are great out on the road.
Great honest review, very informative and enjoyable too. i'm toying with the idea of buying a 900ss, I have a monster s2r 800 amongst others! . Thanks.
1000sguzzi nice! I highly recommend the injected 900ss.
Cheers.
i have a 2006's monster1000ds. same engine as SS. It is not very fast. it reaches 250km/h but it has the most powerful torque of the air cooler engines 1000 in range.
Bought mine knew 13 years ago, love it
Very good video. Got to love the sound of a Ducati and the sound the clutch makes is spot on. Always wanted a 916 but like many turned to the more reliable Japanese. Might in the future invest in a 916 or something similar as a track bike.
Apex-Moto thanks! The best bit is that the video captures about 10% of the real sound, gets you right in the chest. The 916 is a great investment right now, but you need to be careful, a wrong'un can be a money pit!
Nice vid,thanks! I'm just buying one of these now and you've reassured me alot having owned a 1974 860GTS years ago which was truly evil (but GREAT to ride!!) I was a bit worried!
Psyborg 9 thanks! Go for it, you won’t regret it.
I will,cheers!!
@@PhilOsGarage Yep,got it,had to make a seat for it the old one was MILES too uncomfortable,now it's ok love the grunt and the noise,got some good rides planned!
Psyborg 9 fantastic! They really are great bikes, enjoy it! 😁
I have a 2002 750 sport and I love it I bought it as my first bike. Great into bike with just enough power without being too much to handle. I have an aftermarket seat on mine I agree not the most comfortable.
Yup, the 750 motor is a peach, too. A little smoother and more free revving than the 900, great bike. 👍🙂
Lightning fan as in MK lightning? Top choice if so, I try to get to at least a few games every year!
Phil'O's Garage nope Tampa bay lightning , also a hockey team ! And yeah great review btw !
@@poophut22 ahhh, gotcha! 😊
I bet that nice smooth freshly laid tarmac you were riding on is now full of potholes 😊
It's pretty good around here, we are lucky. Thanks for watching 😀
Im in love with the bike but i‘ll have to throttle it for the first 2 years
They are pretty easy to ride, but quicker than the figures suggest. If you are restrained they are fine, but build up the confidence slowly, especially in the wet.
Phil'O's Garage im from Europe so i already have 2 years of experience on a 125ccm Yamaha. But in two weeks im going to buy a nice 900ss ie 🔥🔥
Hello, do you still own the 900ss? I have one and need to pick you brain about ownership and maintenance.
Hi, unfortunately I sold the bike a couple of years ago (I owned it for 8 years) as It simply wasn't getting enough use, but I certainly can try to answer your questions. 😊
@@PhilOsGarage Thank you. I am not getting any drive despite having engaged the gear, I am able to cycle through the gears up and down. Also the bike will not idle as soon as I take the choke off. Any ideas of what could be causing this and what the possible fix could be? I would like to try and fix it myself.
Great video. I have a 2000 900ss and love it. I found your opinions to be spot on about owning it. I've put about 30k miles on mine and have very similar opinions. I have a sargent seat on mine and it has made a world of difference. I found most repairs are fairly simple and have youtube videos to help. What year is yours? I didn't catch that in the video.
DuKati 900ss thanks for the comments. Mine is a 1998, one if the very first injection models. Fantastic road bikes and a great example of how reputations are often completely underserved. I rate the 900ss as one if the most reliable bikes out there. Enjoy your bike, and revel in knowing the truth about these great under appreciated bikes.
Back in Gladstone sadly my Ducati 900ss 1994 Is the last one remaining in Australia Gladstone.
Beautiful bike though, hang on to it!
Beauty bike, I had one, 900 '99 yellow 👍
They are fantastic, great road bikes. Thanks for watching 😎
Great review. I should be getting the 750 Sport soon.
Nice, they are a very solid bike, and a great way into Italian bike ownership, take the plunge, you won't regret it. Thanks for watching 😎
@@PhilOsGarage Hi thanks for the encouragement.
On first appearance, the black version with dull grey rims (on offer to me) isn't exactly what I had in mind in recent months. But as it's coming with guaranteed MOT, service, low mileage all for roughly £2000, I thought i'd grab it while I can and maybe eventually part exchanging it for a modern jizz-machine after a year or two. I haven't done my lessons yet, so it will be my first over-125 bike and so i'm going to rush my lessons through in the coming weeks.
Just one question, if I did end up deciding to keep it long term, are front fork upgrades as easy as they theoretically should be? For instance, although Ohlins do not have forks made explicitly for the bike (from my understanding), there would be some with maybe the correct or at least a shim/shave-able length/diameter. I know aligning the brakes would likely be the bulk of the issues, but I wonder if I would even get that far.
But then again, maybe I shouldn't modify what will soon become a collectable in its own right and instead focus on restoring it back to its full showroom glory.
GEL seat .... remap the Fi there a weekend beast fun fun fun 1000ds even better
Great bike. Im enjoying mine 98ssie for the fifth year now. Only service needed, But resently it have startet to backfire in the airfilter housing, worst when it is cold. Do you have Any idea on this matter?
The bike is a keeper. I Will sell mine, But maybe buy another Ducati sometime in the future.
Hmmm. Not absolutely sure on that one, Sounds like it's slightly lean on one cylinder. Maybe worth trying to synchronise the throttle bodies? The SSie is a great bike. 👍
Great review brotha!
Josh AFJ thanks dude! 😎
Fantastica video 10/10❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks 😊
Hey nice video and great review. I have the same bike but notice the engine runs so hot after 45 min to 1 hr and I only rode it during the fall. The temperature gauge stays at 3/4 range constantly. Do you have that issue?
Hi, thanks for the comment. If the engine is running hot, try changing the grade of oil, the handbook has a list of different oil grades for different temperatures. If in doubt your ducati dealer can advise. I'd also try cleaning the engine earth point and temperature sender connections as a poor connection will cause the guage to read incorrectly. Mine used to read between 1/3 and 1/2
@@PhilOsGarage thanks. Is it a 2001 by the way?
Best modificamodification l did on my '93 900ss, was to replace the earth lead and positive lead from battery, starter relay and starter motor to a larger dia cable. The increase in cable size means less electrical resistance. Thus when the bike is hot and therefore the wiring hot, the larger cables make starting a breeze.
Boof Idontgiveashit yeah, the factory gave the smallest cables possible
Would this be the same as my 98 model Ducati 900ss i can do this and get better starting reliably
Harsh riding position? I bought a brand new one in 1998, stuck a tank bag and soft panniers on, and toured the fcuk out of it all round Southern Europe! I rode it back to back with a 1997 GSXR600. Now that WAS a harsh riding position. I sold it with 38000 km on it because my wife threw a wobbler after I got my knee down in the Pyrenees with her on the back. Stupid mistake. If I'd have kept it together, I'd still have the bike now.
I guess it depends on how big you are. I'm quite small so it's very stretched out for me.
meet the sausage creature
Hahaha!
