The 1990 Ducati 907IE and 1993 Ducati Monster 900 represent two chapters in Ducati's storied history.
The 1990 Ducati 907IE from Italy was powered by a 904cc SOHC L-twin belt producing 80hp at 7500rpm. Weighing 195.0kg (430 lbs) and with a seat height of 790mm, it was aimed at sportbike riders.
The 1993 Ducati Monster 900 by contrast offered 904cc of SOHC L-twin Desmo air power, delivering 73hp at 7000rpm. Tipping the scales at 185.0kg (408 lbs) with a top speed of 200km/h (124 mph), it offered a distinct riding experience. 1990s motorcycles represent peak analog engineering before electronics took over. Original, low-mileage examples are beginning to appreciate.
