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!

2015 Ducati Monster 821 Revealed

Wed, 28 May 2014

Just over six months after Ducati revealed its Monster 1200 at EICMA, the Italian manufacturer announced another new liquid-cooled member to its naked roadster line. Sharing the same 90° V-Twin engine as the Hyperstrada and Hypermotard, the new Monster 821 shares many design cues with its 1198cc sibling. The 821cc Testastretta 11° engine, claiming 112 hp and 65.9 ft-lb., is housed in a steel trellis frame similar to that on the Monster 1200.
