Ducati Other description
Extremely well preserved low mileage 1974 Ducati 750GT Motorcycle. Collector condition. All original paint. Only 6500 original miles. Freshly serviced and Brand new battery installed. Starts first kick. Idles perfectly. Revs quick. Tons of power. Unique growling throaty sound. Clutch is smooth and tight with no slippage. All lights and signals fully functional with new high quality bulbs installed. Charging system works fine. Tires are presumed to be originals and do exhibit signs of dry rotting but still hold air and ride down the highway just fine. I would recommend replacing for safety for regular use. The transmission occasionally tends to pop out of fist gear, This is easily resolved by simply holding up the lever until shifting into second gear. The bike has a surprising agility and fantastic power band around town or out on the open highway. It really runs and rides like a muscle car of the period. There is some signs of wear and use. The rims are clean and super straight but could be further detailed. The front brake master cylinder has been replaced and upgraded. The original paint exhibits some crazing and light misc wear and scratches. The gas tank at some point had been glazed and there is a little ding on right side in front of Ducati Badge very hard to capture in photos but could be removed easily I believe even without restoration. It's otherwise solid and has no leaks of any sort. The petcocks are also operational and without issue. While not mint or near mint it's a well kept and cared for original survivor. Always in climate controlled storage. Includes LOTS of history, paperwork, and original owners newspaper adv from Philly in 1976. I've put about 300 miles on the bike and it has been dependable with no aggravating bugs or issues. It is with much regret I have to offer for sale. A Legendary Machine always in the top ten and worthy of any collection or ready to ride and enjoy immediately! Reserve is under 15K. extremely reasonable for Rarity/make/model/condition. I recently came across a botched cafe modified example someone wanted 60k for. While hard to accurately asses a fair market value, I would guess between 20-30K. Bid to Win!!

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new
Mon, 25 Mar 2013THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place. Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series. Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing). The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!

Played: SBK 2011
Wed, 22 Jun 2011The nerves are rising as I sit upon a factory Ducati on the grid at the final round of the WSB championship lined-up against the best riders in the World, the lights are about go out to decide winner… The reality however, is I've been working on my arse groove in the couch, in a darkened room with the remnants of last nights takeaway playing on SBK 2011. SBK 2011 is the next extension in the bike racing game series. The two major modes in the game are the standard career and the SBK Tour.
