Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I have a 900 Sport 2002 I got 8 months ago. It was first registered in 2011 only 6k miles on the clock, very nice bike. It's my first Ducati, so I cannot compare that much, but The 3 spoke wheels are different, engine and ecu and all are exactly the same as SS even says SS on them. The rear shock is lower quality as well. Very nice bike tho and rides really well. I've opened the airbox put a Power commander on it and changed exhausts to remus slip ons. Rides and sounds great! It's matt black, which is another color they did for the '02 ones.
