Good Post!!

Excellent breakdown on what to look for and what actually
changed through the years..

[Jamathi]

What is there not to like about the ie spec duke?
It is a classic and blends in well.
Plus you get the better suspension brake bits thrown in

[jules_1972]

Thats true in regards to the improvements to the later models.

For me I just like the older 900SS/851/888 style.
Rawness of the older bikes to.

[Jamathi]

Jules, I have driven Spuddies machine and they are THE SAME in Ducati style riding, just so little difference.
I now have taken the clutch cover off and replaced with an open one.
you cannot hear the difference either between the bikes.

**A very nice 888 must have fallen over/crashed (on it's lhs) saw it today somewhere standing all sorry and brused.**
Hopefully owner is in a better state.

For sure your very correct with the later being waayyyy more refined...

Im defending my old 1991 900SS...

The i.e. only has a different plastic skirt on underneath it is the very same.
All you Ducatisi were way to quick for me and bought all the great looking carbie SS ers
I only found out when doing the paperwork that it was a 900SS , I thought it was a SS1000 DS.
Mine does not have anything on the fairing stating what it is other than DUCATI.
It made the right sound, it was RED, it looked new and I wanted it, simple and stupid.
