Ducati SuperSport 950 secure outdoor motorcycle storage

Introduction

The Ducati SuperSport 950 combines sporty performance with everyday usability, but like many modern motorcycles it can be difficult to store securely outdoors. Lightweight covers offer limited protection, and many sheds are not designed for regular access or proper security.

This installation shows how an ArmadilloBoxes steel motorcycle storage unit with an extra-wide door provides secure, weatherproof outdoor storage for a Ducati SuperSport 950 while remaining practical for frequent riding.

Customer requirement

The owner required secure outdoor motorcycle storage that:

• safely accommodates a Ducati SuperSport 950

• allows straightforward, regular access

• provides genuine theft resistance rather than cosmetic deterrence

• protects the bike from year-round weather exposure

For this installation, the bike is stored without panniers, allowing a more compact footprint while maintaining comfortable access.

The real-world challenge

Although slimmer than adventure bikes, the Ducati SuperSport 950 still features wide handlebars, mirrors, and fairings that make narrow sheds and small door openings impractical. Sport-touring bikes also tend to be used frequently, so access needs to be controlled and predictable rather than tight or awkward.

A suitable storage solution needs sufficient door clearance, rigidity, and stability so the bike can be rolled in and out confidently.

The solution

A 1200mm wide ArmadilloBoxes secure motorcycle storage unit with an extra-wide door was installed to provide full steel enclosure and dependable outdoor security. The rigid steel construction forms a strong base layer of protection, while the extra-wide door opening makes access simple and controlled for a fully-faired motorcycle like the SuperSport 950.

For owners comparing different configurations, the ArmadilloBoxes size guide helps determine the most suitable unit width for modern road and sport-touring motorcycles.

A steel unit also provides a far stronger security foundation than timber sheds, which is why many riders review motorcycle security options when planning outdoor storage.

Ducati SuperSport 950 storage FAQs

Will a Ducati SuperSport 950 fit in a 1200mm ArmadilloBoxes unit?
Yes. The 1200mm ArmadilloBoxes unit with an extra-wide door provides ample clearance for the SuperSport 950’s handlebars, mirrors, and fairing in typical configurations.

Is an extra-wide door necessary for a sport-touring bike?
While the SuperSport 950 is narrower than many adventure bikes, the extra-wide door improves control and reduces the risk of contact during regular use, especially when storing the bike frequently.

Is a steel motorcycle shed more secure than a wooden shed?
Steel storage units provide a much stronger base level of security than timber sheds, which can be forced quickly.

Do I need a concrete base?
No. An ArmadilloBox does not require a concrete base. The unit is structurally sound and can be installed directly onto grass or gravel without damaging the sub-base. Its own weight keeps it stable, even before the motorcycle is stored inside.
The units are very rigid and can be packed during installation to bring the door square, allowing accurate alignment on uneven ground. However, like any structure, they should not be installed where water is allowed to pool, and the ground should be free-draining.
