The 1996 Ducati 900SL Super Light is one of the most agile sportbikes available on the market up to date. It comes with a 41mm Showa fully-adjustable upside-down fork in the front, an adjustable monoshock in the rear with a progressive linkage, a full-fairing, a single seat, a dual exhaust system, a carbon-fiber mudguard and clutch cover, a windscreen and an analogue instrumentation panel. The most impressive aspect of this machine is its lightness, tipping the scale at just 176 kg.
Also, it is powered by a four-stroke, air-cooled, 904cc, 90-degree desmodromic V-Twin, paired to a six-speed manual transmission with a chain final drive, and can produce a claimed 78 horsepower and 84 Nm of torque.
