The Ducati SuperSport and SS are names applied to a series of Pantah based air-cooled four stroke two valve V-Twin motorcycles manufactured from 1988 onwards. The Pantah was the first of the belt-driven camshaft Ducati motors the first generation of the current Ducati V twins Air-cooled engines rely on the circulation of air directly over hot parts of the Engine to cool them Today Internal combustion engines in cars, Trucks motorcycles aircraft construction machinery and many others most commonly use a four-stroke cycle. Configurations "True V-twin" vs V-2 There is some ambiguity regarding what defines a V-twin which arose from 180 degree "V" engines (see A limited edition SuperSport called the SuperLight was sold in 1992. The name harked back to the round case 1973 Ducati 750 Super Sport,and the 1975 square case 750 and 900 Super Sport. The later one-word spelling was only applied to the belt drive (Pantah) based models.
Ducati SuperSport and SS (1989 – 2007)
Announced in 1988, the Ducati SuperSport used a Pantah based 904 cc air cooled L-twin, 2V "Desmodue" engine with crankcases derived from the 851 motor. Ducati Motor Holding SpA ( Borsa Italiana: DMH is an Italian Motorcycle manufacturer located in Bologna Italy. The Pantah was the first of the belt-driven camshaft Ducati motors the first generation of the current Ducati V twins For the GI Joe character see List of GI Joe ARAH characters. For the Transformers characters see Crankcase (Transformers. The Ducati 851 was a Ducati Motorcycle, with liquid cooling and four valve heads, released to the public in 1987. It was mounted in a tubular trellis frame.
From 1989 – 1990 the motorcycle was fitted with a Marzocchi rear suspension, then first changed to Showa, and then to better quality Marzocchi damping in 1990. Marzocchi is an Italian manufacturer founded in 1949 by the two brothers Stefano and Guglielmo Marzocchi A motorcycle's suspension is similar to the suspension in an automobile in its purpose Suspension systems serve a dual purpose - contributing to the vehicle's handling and braking for good active ( is a manufacturer of high-performance Automotive, Motorcycle and Outboard suspension systems based in Gyoda Saitama in Japan. Marzocchi M1R front forks were used until 1993, when they were replaced by Showa upside down units. The Marelli Digiplex ignition was used in early models, and then replaced by a Kokusan ignition. Magneti Marelli Holding SpA is an Italian company which deals with development and manufacturing of systems modules and high-technology components for the Automotive
From 1988 to 1991 the model was called a 900 SuperSport, and had a full fairing. A Motorcycle fairing is a shell placed over the frame of some Motorcycles, especially the Racing motorcycles and Sports bikes with the primary purpose to From 1991 to 1998 the model was called a 900SS, and was available with a full or half fairing. The half fairing models were called the CR or Cafe Racer, so the designation became SS/CR for SuperSport Cafe Racer. The CR's came with lower grade suspension and typically a steel swingarm, (as opposed to the aluminum swingarm typically found on SuperSports) as well as a narrower 4. 5 inch rear wheel and narrower 160 section rear tire.
In 1999 the SuperSport got a major facelift. The fairing was redesigned and fuel injection introduced. Fuel injection is a system for mixing fuel with air in an Internal combustion engine. The SS was available with 750 cc and 900 cc engines, both offered with either full fairing or half fairing. In 2003 Ducati replaced the 750 and 900 with three new variations: 620 cc, 800 cc and 1000 cc. Only the 620 was offered with half fairing. After that the SuperSport family was slowly reduced until in 2007, with only the 1000 cc version available, it finally came to an end.
Ducati SuperLight
The 900 SuperLight appeared in 1993 as a limited edition model SuperSport. upswept exhaust pipes, vented clutch cover, fully floating Brembo front discs, carbon fibre bits, and lightweight Marvic wheels and guards. Brembo is a manufacturer of Automotive Brake systems especially for high-performance cars and Motorcycles It was established in Bergamo In 1993 the vented clutch cover, fully floating Brembo front discs, and lightweight Marvic wheels and guards disappeared from the SuperLight, and there was now only the fully floating rear brake to differentiate the 900 SuperSport and SuperLight. A clutch is a mechanism for transmitting rotation which can be engaged and disengaged The disc brake or disk brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a Wheel.
