Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine. By the 60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V Twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years.
This 900SS Desmodue showing 15800 miles on the clock is presented in original trim and was bought by the vendor from a friend in 2020 after many years of storage. It was then fully serviced including new belts, carbs cleaned and balanced, new rear disc, new front master cylinder, new brake lines and the calipers rebuilt. It comes supplied with lots of paperwork and manuals as well as a current V5C.
