Howdy everyone.

I have a question about some details on variances in model designation AND year variations that might be present with Supersport models in the 90's.

My 1994 SSSP is being converted to a sort of restomod after the motor gave up the ghost. We are putting a 2006 Ducati SR2 1000 motor in it with all the electronics, switch gear, and FI. Before coming up with this plan, I bought a 1996 Supersport project that needed some work in the thoughts I could make one nice bike from two.

Now that we are going the restomod route, I have the 1996 I want to move it on along to someone else with all the spares.

Here is the concern - I know the history of my 1994 from new to me and the frame is more of a silver color, with CF front and rear fenders, aluminum swingarm, 5.5 rear wheel and the proper front end.

The 1996 model is supposed to be a SS/SP model, BUT it has the red front fender and plastic rear hugger. It also seems to have a later model rear shock of a Supersport 1000 possibly. It does have the more silver looking wheels with a 5.5 rear as expected. The concern is that the frame is more gold in color. I was told that the gold frames were usually "economy" versions. The person that told me this based it off his knowledge of 748/916 models. He didn't know it applied to SS models.

Question: Does anyone know if it is possible the frame color changed from the 1994 Silver to the 1996 more gold color on ALL Supersports, or is there any truth to an "economy" frame that was more gold for the CR versions, and silver for the SP's?

I mentioned to those interested in the 96 that I cannot guarantee it is an SP version. The carfax doesn't designate and I can find where the VIN can decode to that level. Also, I believe some say the triple clamp number can be used, although I have always been told it can't be relied upon. One individual said the 96 models usually had an alpha and it looks like my 96 my have been a high number before they switched to the alpha addition.

I have the bike listed on CL and MotoHouston (MH) and a few FB pages. Here is the MH site if you want to see pics to see what I am talking about with the more gold colored frame.

Thanks for any insights. I'd feel better if I could tell a potential buyer it is one or the other with some degree of certainty.

with any other color frame are the first couple of years which had white
frames.

’94 CR for me. I can’t bear to call it “gold”…….. Since my steering head welds broke, I bought a white frame and will re-assemble with that. I think I’m going with some sort of grey powder coating, and do the wheels too. I saw someone’s bike at the TT gathering in Closter NJ a bunch of years ago (the shop is only 4 minutes from my home…) who had a grey frame, and I thought it was exquisite. I believe the gentleman was from Canada. Is that anyone seeing this on the list…??? I’d love to know what color it was if you’d care to respond.BTW, if anyone has a square headlight SS that has a grey frame would care to share, that would be great as well!

I have a question about some details on variances in model designation

AND

year variations that might be present with Supersport models in the 90's.

My 1994 SSSP is being converted to a sort of restomod after the motor

gave

up the ghost. We are putting a 2006 Ducati SR2 1000 motor in it with all
the electronics, switch gear, and FI. Before coming up with this plan, I
bought a 1996 Supersport project that needed some work in the thoughts I
could make one nice bike from two.

Now that we are going the restomod route, I have the 1996 I want to move
it on along to someone else with all the spares.

Here is the concern - I know the history of my 1994 from new to me and

the

frame is more of a silver color, with CF front and rear fenders, aluminum
swingarm, 5.5 rear wheel and the proper front end.

The 1996 model is supposed to be a SS/SP model, BUT it has the red front
fender and plastic rear hugger. It also seems to have a later model rear
shock of a Supersport 1000 possibly. It does have the more silver

looking

wheels with a 5.5 rear as expected. The concern is that the frame is

more

gold in color. I was told that the gold frames were usually "economy"
versions. The person that told me this based it off his knowledge of
748/916 models. He didn't know it applied to SS models.

Question: Does anyone know if it is possible the frame color changed

from

the 1994 Silver to the 1996 more gold color on ALL Supersports, or is

there

any truth to an "economy" frame that was more gold for the CR versions,

and

silver for the SP's?

I mentioned to those interested in the 96 that I cannot guarantee it is

an

SP version. The carfax doesn't designate and I can find where the VIN

can

decode to that level. Also, I believe some say the triple clamp number

can

be used, although I have always been told it can't be relied upon. One
individual said the 96 models usually had an alpha and it looks like my

96

my have been a high number before they switched to the alpha addition.

I have the bike listed on CL and MotoHouston (MH) and a few FB pages.
Here is the MH site if you want to see pics to see what I am talking

about

with the more gold colored frame.

Thanks for any insights. I'd feel better if I could tell a potential
buyer it is one or the other with some degree of certainty.

’94 CR for me. I can’t bear to call it “gold”…….. Since my steering head welds broke, I bought a white frame and will re-assemble with that. I think I’m going with some sort of grey powder coating, and do the wheels too. I saw someone’s bike at the TT gathering in Closter NJ a bunch of years ago (the shop is only 4 minutes from my home…) who had a grey frame, and I thought it was exquisite. I believe the gentleman was from Canada. Is that anyone seeing this on the list…??? I’d love to know what color it was if you’d care to respond.BTW, if anyone has a square headlight SS that has a grey frame would care to share, that would be great as well!

My 95 CR had a silver frame . Ducati gave me a gold one as a replacement for the frame cracking problem. The swingarm is the same silver as the frame.
