[Ducati] Supersports officially dead

[Steve Abramson]

I don't gush too much about it, but when others show the love, I can't help 
chiming in.........I, too can just stare at my '94 CR. It's been mine since 
'96/2400 miles.

>>I bought my used '96 SS back in '01 because, among other reasons, it's one

>>still gorgeous.  The Terblanche SS just leaves me flat.  It's not ugly, 
>>but
>>it's not anything to get excited about either.  I rented a late model 
>>900SS
>>this year for the Motogiro and I certainly enjoyed riding it.  It's a very
>>competent machine and has some handling improvements over my own bike, but
>>in the looks department the new one is just so blah.  Ducati had rows of 
>>the
>>new SS hanging around inside the factory, some of them a few years old.
>>The one they rented me was 2 years old and had just 13 kilometers on the 
>>odo
>>when I rode out with it.  By comparison, they did not have enough Monsters
>>or STs to meet demand for the Giro, and many people got "stuck" with a 
>>900SS
>>when the other bikes were taken.  The later SS is certainly a competent
>>bike, but for the money there are plenty of other bikes around that have
>>better performance and don't look about as interesting as a mini-van. 
>>That
>>Ducati is discontinuing the line is not surprising to me, or even
>>disappointing really.
