The Darmah is a motorcycle model produced by the Bologna based Ducati from 1977 to 1982. A machine born to respond to the commercial failure of the 860 GT of 1974. Leopoldo Tartarini, former Ducati rider and owner of Italjet, designed the new grand tourer, and created a bike with a more pleasant and sporty style than the 860 GT, inspired by another Ducati he designed, the Sport Desmo 350/500. The new model was presented in December 1976 at the Bologna Motor Show, and production began the following year.

Compared to the 860 GT, the bike differed not only in terms of aesthetics but also in the use of Japanese-built instrumentation and electrical controls, for the use (for the first time on a road bike) of magnesium alloy wheels.

Part of a private collection of machines, the Darmah offered here has been restored to a good standard a couple of years ago. It has been used sparingly since completion due to having been on display. It comes complete with a current V5C. Some light recommissioning will be required before use.
