Continually developed around a trellis-frame, 2-valve sports
machine whose characteristics embodied the very essence of 'Ducatiness'.
Gutsy, booming, torque-loaded, lightweight, long-wheelbase,
steady-as-she-goes and full-of-feeling handling and steering,
and usually decent Brembo brakes.
In 1992, Ducati took their 900 Supersport and added several
choice extras to create a limited edition called the Ducati
Superlight – 953 examples were built over 2 years.
Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, in 1993 they removed almost
all the extras, leaving just a fully floating rear brake to
differentiate the limited edition from its less exclusive
brother. 'The actual weight savings you got with a
"Superlight" version? About 6 pounds.'
The chassis and engine
were from the 1992 Supersport but there were a few details that set the
Superlight apart.These included a vented clutch cover, fully floating cast-
Each Superlight came with carbon fibre front mudguard & rear hugger, solo seat
unit and a numbered plaque on the top triple clamp. This model in now commonly
known as the MK1. 1992 models featured lightweight 17 inch Marvic/Akront
composite wheels. Following on the from the success of the 1992 version, the
Superlight specification was downgraded for 1993 which increased the weight of
the bike (known as the MK II). The wheels were regular Brembo and the front
discs were now stainless steel. The vented clutch cover disappeared.
The 1993 Superlights still came with the numbered plaque on the triple clamp.
For 1994 the Superlight(MKIII) was upgraded with a return of the cast-
With the release of the new Supersport imminent , a Final Edition was offered in
1998. It was silver in colour with black wheels with much of the specifications
the same as the earlier Superlight. All the of the FE's came with a numbered
plaque.
Production figures for the superlight:
Mk1 952
Mk 11 755
Mk 111 756
Mk 1V 850
Mk V 309
Final Edition 800
