1974 Ducati 750 Sport - SOLD
* 17K mile bike *
Here we have a beautiful garage find 750 Sport that's crying out
for a sympathetic restoration.
Engine number is 753855 and frame number is 754784, all of which
put her as one of the first stage production of 1974, although
she must have laid in a showroom unsold somewhere as she wasn't
registered for the road until October 1975.
She is British registered, and has been under a cover in the
owners garage for over 20 years since he gave up motorcycling.
As far as I can tell (and this is why she'd make such a great
project) almost every component is correct!
She has the correct clip-ons, Ceriani forks, Brembo brakes (with
the huge bonus of the extra disc and caliper, giving much needed
extra stopping power), Marzocchi rear shocks, 32mm
Del'Orto carbs with correct grey plastic bellmouths,
breath-takingly valuable Aprilia Jod Duplo headlamp unit,
Borrani alloy rims, 18” rear +19” front, black chain guard,
Aprilia fuse box (missing lid), clutch lever with choke
attached, Veglia speedo and tacho (and the speedo even has the
correct reset knob attached), steel tank, right hand silencer is
the original Conti (the word Conti not inside a circle, welded
bottom seam), left hand silencer is a chromed pattern period
replacement.
She came to me with a rare dual seat but if you prefer the
single seat, I have one, so I have taken photos with both seats
to help you decide, but you have to choose one or the other, not
both!
The engine turns over fine and considering how long it has stood
still, it has very good compression. The carb slides are stuck
in the bodies (unless the throttle cables are seized solid), but
if somebody really wants me to, I'll clean up the carbs etc and
get her running and video it.
It is so unusual to find a Sport that is more or less completely
original and unmolested- and this makes her restoration so much
easier as you have no scarce parts to track down (and pay a
fortune for!).
You would be welcome to send anybody to inspect her, or come for
a nice little holiday in Italy yourself and help me construct
her crate!
I
live in Italy and that's where she is (in my garage!).
Asking $XXXXX USD. This bike has been
sold, deposit accepted etc............... It's gone
I
would need a 10% deposit down then, if you like (at your
expense) I will build a bullet proof professional-standard
shipping crate, custom made for her.
Then, when you see the pics of her in the crate before I seal up
the lid, I would need the balance before releasing her to the
shipping company of your choice.
