Ducati Other description

Up for grabs...1972 Ducati 750 GT barn find project bike. 
One of approximately 700 sandcast 750 crankcases made in the early years. This bike retains the unique kick start lever only found on the sandcast examples. Also notable is the UNcracked primary cover that was the Achilles' heel of sandcast crankcase examples. This bike is a time warp example!  Just as developed for the US market by Ducati for Berliner. It even retains the rarely seen foil tag on the head stock. Most early GTs were fitted with Amal 932 Concentric carbs. This one appears to have been fitted from new with DelLorto carburetors as offered on the sport version. The choke cables have obviously been attached for a long time. Face it: Ducati was a small operation and they fitted what was at hand that day. The correct fiberglass tank is fitted as well as the correct seat. The seat is in need of restoration but provides a good pan to use. Correct turn signals are still on there as well as the US market high bars. The side covers are present, and the super-rare "oval" Conti mufflers are in good condition . Early Smith's instruments indicate 26,479 miles. Speedometer even still has reset sticker !  The correct Borrani rims and Inox stainless fenders further contribute to the certificate of "authenticity " of this early Ducati GT "barn find". Engine is presently stuck but "soaking".
This auction offers a rare opportunity to acquire an unmolested Ducati GT. This was the bike that jump started Ducati's presence in the US and on the track.
Feel free to give us a call or drop us an email and we will be happy to answer any questions - thanks for checking out our auctions!

Ducati Announces Multistrada 1200 with D-Air Integration for Europe

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

Ducati announced it is introducing a special Multistrada D-Air model, what the company calls the world’s first motorcycle fully integrated with an airbag-equipped riding jacket. Working with riding apparel maker Dainese, Ducati developed the Europe-only Multistrada variant to use its existing built-in sensors to detect an accident as it happens. Within 45 milliseconds after detecting an accident, the Multistrada wirelessly sends signals to the Dainese D-Air jackets worn by the rider and/or passenger, activating their airbags to reduce the risk of injury from the impact.

CEO Bob Parsons, owner and founder of GoDaddy.com threw an all out bash at his wedding this weekend. By far the coolest part was the fully edible, full size replica Ducati Streetfighter, designed by celebrity cake maker, Duff Goldman. Complete with working lights and smoking exhaust, this 400lb cake took 8 men to lift into place and is by far the coolest wedding cake we've ever seen.
