Ducati's second-generation v-twin engine - the 900cc 'square case' (actual capacity 864cc) - debuted in the 860GT of 1974 and the following year was used to power the new 900SS superbike. The latter was styled like the 750SS developed from Paul Smart's Imola winner, and like its smaller sibling use desmodromic valve gear. The 900SS's competition heritage was obvious on the road: "While other flash Italian bikes are basically roadsters dressed up and pretending to be racers, this is the real thing," declared Bike magazine; indeed, Ducati's 'bevel drive' twins would prove to be highly effective contenders in production machine racing the world over and are still campaigned in Classic events today. This race-modified Ducati v-twin was previously road-registered in Italy as 'MO 93196' and comes with copies of its Italian registration papers.
