The Ducati SuperSport (SS) debuted in 1988, a series of air-cooled 90° V-twin motorcycles that would remain in production for nearly 20 years. None other than the gonzo journalist himself, Hunter S. Thompson, reviewed the Ducati 900SS for Cycle World in 1995:"There are some things nobody needs in

Portugal, crippled by the GFC, is not a good place to conduct business at the moment. But nobody told the Lisbon-based custom workshop Maria Motorcycles, which is turning out some very sharp bikes indeed. Like this latest build, a 1994 Ducati 750 SS called “Italian Sniper”. According to Maria’s main man, Luis Correia, working with a modern style of bike was a challenge. But he relished the idea of turning it into a smaller and more aggressive machine, and giving it a distinct personality—“a simple look, almost like a classic street racer.” The biggest change is the more powerful engine,

You could technically call his customized Ducati a Frankenbike, bitsa or parts-bin special. But none of those seem fair, when you consider how beautifully coherent it is. “The bike is a bit of a bastard,” says Kris. “That was on purpose, because not everything
