Took the 900ss out yesterday after a break of about 3 months due the the lithium battery dying and the weather, I almost bought a gel battery as a replacement but in the end I coughed up £136 for a JMT lithium battery and charger, I just couldn't bring myself to add 10lb in weight to such a light bike, it's under 180 kilos dry with the lithium battery and non standard Laser silencers, it's surprising how you forget how a bike feels after a long break, it felt like a 250 on steroids!, the handling is so light and precise and bags of torque, now I really must try a new Ducati sports bike, if they were this good over a quarter of a century ago then how good are they now!👀
