The Ducati 350SS was a sports motorcycle part of the Supersport series in Ducati's range. The bike debuted in 1991 and was intended for the Italian and Japanese markets. It was produced for only two years until 1993.
It was part of the smaller displacement series that also comprised the 400SS and 600SS models. The Ducati 400SS was manufactured from 1989 to 1997, and the larger 600SS was manufactured from 1993 to 1999.
The Ducati 350SS and 400SS were manufactured to meet Japan's (400cc) and Italy's (350cc) driving license schemes of the maximum displacement allowed for beginner motorcyclists. The larger 600SS model was developed as a cheap way to spread Ducati's range.
In 1991, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 350SS, a sports machine made for the Italian and Japanese markets. The 350SS was the smallest in the small displacement series in Ducati's range.
The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as an upper fairing with a square headlight, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a two-into-one exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
As for power, the 1991 Ducati 350SS had its soul brought to life by a 349cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine mounted underneath the fuel tank, delivering 36 hp with maximum strength at 10,500 rpm.
