Hi Jake. Just came across your video. Congrats on the purchase. One recommendation for you. Please change the timing belts. They are not expensive or difficult to do. They are rated for two years or 12,000 mi whichever comes first. Based on how dirty the bike was, I expect yours are old. If a belt fails the piston will hit the valves and nuke the motor
A good friend of mine still races his 900ss's in WERA and they are an absolute weapon. Was able to take national championship many times on them...in a row... for quite a while... lol. This was only up till a couple years ago when he switched to the 748 platform. Don't let age of the bike fool ya. lol.
That was a steal. Ive had Supersports for 25 years. Great bikes! I'm surprised the Wizard was such a poor bike mechanic. You do sound like Agent Smith.
These bikes are awesome! Make sure to double-check the frame near the head tube. They are prone to cracking right near the mounting bracket for the fuel tank.
When you keep say "just look at it". I know what you mean. Ducati's are so beautiful. I have a 21 year old Blue ST4 that I've shared my life with for over 14 years. Wouldn't part with her for anything (well maybe s suitcase full of cash). But you know what I mean.
@@100PercentJake That must be an American market thing, then... In Europe the half-fairing version (over here called "Nuda" for naked) was technically 100% identical to the "Carenata" or full fairing 900SS, including the adjustable front. They were also basically the same price, maybe 250 bucks difference.

Yeh, I always use a battery having 220 CCA for my Ducati 944 st2. It's worth checking the wheel bearings. You have an absolute gem here. Love it

Would love to see more on the Ducati 👍

The yellow is bad ass. You look so good on it. Happy happy
Congratulations Jake!
no u
Congrats!! Audio sounds good to me.
I am my own worst critic! 😅
100PercentJake People complain about sound all the time I’ve found, no matter what.

Hello, I have a 1995 90ss and I want to check the frame on ma own bike. Is it where the gastank stand its broken?
i have been eyeing a ducati 2000 ss 750 in mint condition for $7,000 @16,000 km - i want it .
Jake made a video!
Congratulations on the “crib!”

No offence intended but I can't help thinking of Agent Smith when I hear you talking...watch out for Neo ;)
Would be so cool to see you take it back to a CR!
This old Ducatis are tired and broken, but they are real Ducatis 😅
Weird... that bike SHOULD have fully adjustable front forks. Those legs appear to be from the older 750 SS which were non-adjustable.
It's a 900SS/CR, which has non-adjustable forks. It just has the full fairings put on it from a higher-end 900SS.

Also has the steel swingarm from the 750SS.
You don’t understand Ducati. That bike is The Ducati that started it all.
The SP has better suspension. More $$$
"SP"?.. Wich "SP"?..
I think yellow was only for 1997. It is a CR and not a SS.
Would ya just look at it!!!
The engine alone is worth what you payed
What a load of junk !
That bike is a load of junk? If that bike is junk then what isn't???
"I known nothing about bikes, but a say Ducati is a load of junk". Moron...
