The Ducati 900SS, initially launched in 1988, stayed in production until 2003 with minimal modifications. This Italian gem earned its "super sport" designation, shortened to "SS," due to its lightweight construction and slim chassis, which delivered exceptionally smooth handling. During testing, this model achieved an impressive maximum speed of 221 km/h, surpassing numerous rivals of its era.

The motorcycle is equipped with a two-valve, four-stroke engine featuring a displacement of 904cc, paired with an effective air cooling system. With 80 horsepower, the Ducati 900SS provides outstanding acceleration and velocity for its category. While it was a formidable competitor, it narrowly missed exceeding the next motorcycle on this list.
