Revel in the Ducati’s easy handling, V-twin soundtrack and retro looks. The 992cc air-cooled dual spark motor coughs up just 85bhp, but thanks to clever gearing and oodles of torque the motorcycle never feels breathless, despite having to cart about well over 200kg (wet).

A2 Licence Compliance

The Ducati 1000SS is a 992cc A2-friendly bike. It has a power output of 63 kW (84 bhp), which exceeds the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. The bike has to be restricted by at least 44.4% to become A2 licence compliant.


You will need a restrictor to ride the Ducati 1000SS on an A2 motorbike licence. See the restrictor kits section to check out what restrictors are available for the Ducati 1000SS.
