2005 Ducati Supersport on 2040-motos

Up for auction is a 2005 Ducati 800 Super Sport.   The bike is in great condition for its age and mileage.   The tank and fairings have no major dents or dings and show very well.   Both front and rear tires are almost new and the chain was replaced less than 2000 miles ago.  I checked the valves, timing belts and sprockets before riding this season and everything is up to spec.  If you any questions be sure to contact me through Ebay.  I highly recommend coming to see the Ducati in person because pictures do not show how nice of an example this 800ss is.  Good luck and happy bidding.

Here is some general infomation about the 800ss from Wikipedia: 

1999–2007[edit]

Ducati Super Sport

In 1999, the Supersport had a major facelift. The fairing was redesigned after the Ducati Supermono and fuel injection introduced. The 1999 model was one of the first Ducatis designed by Pierre Terblanche and met with very limited success based on its controversial aesthetics. The SS was available with 750 cc and 900 cc engines, both offered with either full fairing or half fairing. A lower spec "Sport" model was offered.

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.

Eventually, only the 1,000 cc version was available, which was finally discontinued in 2007. The SS naming convention was eventually dropped and the line evolved into the SportClassic line that includes the Sport 1000 and GT 1000, and another Paul Smart replica, thePaulSmart 1000 LE.

Ducati 800SS[edit]

The Ducati 800SS, introduced in 2003, is the smaller capacity, higher revving version of that year's air-cooled Ducati SuperSport (SS) model range.^[3]

The 800SS is a popular base for production racing in the USA where it competes against motorcycles such as the Suzuki SV650. It is also eligible for racing in the UK in the Minitwins series with a variety of clubs such as Bemsee/MRO, North Gloucester Road Racing Club (NGRRC), and the North East Motorcycle Racing Club (NEMCRC).

History

In 2003 a new fuel-injected desmodromic 90° V-twin, 88 mm x 66 mm, 803 cc engine, and a new six-speed gearbox were offered in the Supersport 800. There were two versions available: the 800 Supersport and the 800 Sport. The Supersport featured a high specification chassis whilst the Sport was a lower cost version with a less well-specified chassis. Both used the same engine and came in with either a full fairing or half-fairing. The two-valve per cylinder engine produced 74.5 hp @ 8250 rpm, and 70 N·m (7.1 kgf·m) @ 6250 rpm.

Earlier 2003-2004 Supersport models had a high-specification chassis featuring fully adjustable Showa front forks and a fully adjustable Sachs shock absorber. From 2004 onwards Ducati reduced the level of chassis specification to that of the Sport (which was subsequently dropped from the range some time later). The alloy swinging arm was replaced with a steel item; the five-spoke Marchesini wheels were replaced by three-spoke wheels by Brembo; the front forks were replaced by non-adjustable Marzocchi items; the Brembo Goldline clutch and brake master cylinder were replaced with lower specification items as found on many lower capacity Ducati Monsters.

From 2006 the 800SS was no longer imported into the UK although it was still available in the USA in limited numbers in 2007.
