1972 Ducati 750 GT in very original condition. Ride or Restore. Starts, runs and rides ok but will need to be gone through, has old tires. Carburetors were changed by the previous owner and the original Amal carburetors will go with the sale. I bought this bike in its present condition thirty years ago with the intention of making it a racer but picked up a Don Drake built 750GT racer and this one was put aside. I do not have any history about the bike. Being sold as is so please ask questions before bidding. Has clear title in my name.

Looking through our archives I found one other 750GT from back in 2018. Tad featured that 1975 750GT, “If you ask anyone to name the earliest Ducati v-twin, one of the Supersports is the one most likely to spring to mind. But this GT was actually the first, and possibly most significant machine to be powered by the elegant and desirable “Round Case” twin….It’s difficult to overstate how important the v-twin was to Ducati’s present fortunes. Prior to the introduction of the 750GT in 1971, Ducati built single-cylinder road and race motorcycles, the most sophisticated of which used their now widespread Desmo heads that eschewed springs for a more precise and positive system of cams to both open and close the valves. But, singles, while profitable and popular in much of the world for their simplicity, economy, and light weight, would never have allowed Ducati to develop a real fan base in that largest and most lucrative of markets: North America….
Although only 4,000 or so 750GTs were actually built, they paved the way for Ducati’s big-bike ambitions and their current status as the premier European bike brand, with a balance of sales volume and exotic cachet that extends well beyond the enthusiast market and into the general population.”
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
