Ducks In A Row?
DUCKS IN A ROW?
THE FLAGSHIP 916 SUPERbike may be the big news from Bologna for the 1994 model year, but there are smaller ’94 Ducks lined up behind this flagship model. These include a 600cc M600 Monster and a revised version of the 750SS sportbike.
The M600 will use a sleeved-down version of the air-cooled, two-valve V-Twin engine, and will produce about 50 horsepower-down about 10 horses from the 750. Its major difference from the M900 is likely to be its use of a single front disc brake instead of the M900’s twin discs. The smaller bike will be available only in red, while the M900 Monster will
be available in red or black.
The 916 SP6 will arrive in the U.S. midyear to be sold as an early-release 1995 model. Ditto a revised and updated 907IE, which gets a taller windscreen and hard luggage aimed at fulfilling this bike’s sport-touring mission.
Other changes for Ducati’s U.S. 1994 model lineup involve the disappearance of the 750SS and the addition of a fuel-injected version of the 900SS that will be sold alongside the regular carbureted version. Prices on most of the Ducati line haven’t been set, but early indications are that the injected 900SS will sell for slightly more than $10,000.
