Motorcycle\'s are a little out of Zoom\'s normal offerings but a
good customer asked us to give it a whirl so here we go! We have
used online sources for information so review entirely and reach
your own conclusions! We are offering these as a pair, reach out
for individual pricing. Ducati is best known for high-performance
motorcycles characterized by large-capacity four-stroke, 90� V-twin
engines,[14] with a desmodromic valve design.[15] Ducati branded
his configuration as L-twin because one cylinder is vertical while
the other is horizontal, making it look like a letter "L".
Ducati\'s desmodromic valve design is nearing its 50th year of use.
Desmodromic valves are closed with a separate, dedicated cam lobe
and lifter instead of the conventional valve springs used in most
internal combustion engines in consumer vehicles. This allows the
cams to have a more radical profile, thus opening and closing the
valves more quickly without the risk of valve-float, which causes a
loss of power that is likely when using a "passive" closing
mechanism under the same conditions. The 996SSP is a rocket on
wheels. the owner states they just put turn signals on it so it was
USA roadworthy. Here is some more info from an online source. The
2000 MY Ducati 996SPS has replaced the 916SPS, even though,
displacement-wise, it is the same machine, the Italian engineers
fitting the 916 with an 996cc engine from 1997. It boasts a maximum
power output of 124 horsepower and 99 Nm of torque from its
liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 996cc, 90-degree V-Twin powerplant that
was paired to a six-speed manual transmission with a chain final
drive. Also, it comes with an Ohlins fully-adjustable upside-down
fork with TiN-coating, an Ohlins adjustable monoshock with a
progressive cantilever linkage as a rear suspension, a full-fairing
with a small windscreen, cast-magnesium wheels, a single seat, a
digital instrumentation panel, an under-seat dual exhaust system
and a Brembo braking system with dual front disc brakes and a
single disc in the rear. The second bike is a 1995 900 Monster with
7124 miles. Here is some online info (via motorcycleclassics.com)
info regarding the Monster...As Ducati's best-selling model ever,
the Monster has been described as "the bike that saved Ducati,"
representing more than 50 percent of the output from Borgo Panigale
between 1993 and 2014. The 1993 Monster's engine came in 900SS tune
producing 73 rear wheel horsepower. The single crankpin, V-twin
engine used one belt-driven overhead camshaft per cylinder
operating two valves via desmodromic followers. Fueling was
courtesy of a pair of 38mm Mikuni BDST CV carburetors, and sparks
from an electronically triggered Kokusan ignition system. A gear
primary transmitted power to Ducati's familiar dry multiplate
clutch and 6-speed gearbox. As an integral part of the triangulated
frame, the engine also carried the swingarm pivot in the rear of
the transmission case. Said swingarm was fabricated in aluminum,
with a rising-rate linkage to a single Sachs-Boge spring/damper
unit with preload and rebound adjustment. At the front was the
non-adjustable Showa 41mm upside-down fork from the 750SS. The
17-inch Brembo wheels and triple-disc brakes were from the
900SS.Equipment was intentionally minimalist (the Monster had to
wait until 2000 for a tachometer!), with a single circular
headlight and bolt-on handlebars. But it did include a removable
seat cowl with a vestigial passenger perch underneath. Alan
Cathcart tested one of the first Monsters for Cycle World in 1993
and concluded, "It's been a long time since I've ridden a street
bike which so succinctly encapsulated the fun-factor in
motorcycling. This is a red-blooded street rod par excellence."
Rider magazine's tester found little to fault except some stiction
in the stiff, under-sprung front fork - though that was mitigated
by the ease with which the front wheel could be lofted: "Front tire
flat? No problem! Just wheelie home!" Call Hank at 201-317-9277 or
