1987 Ducati 750 F1 B

For Sale: 1987 Ducati 750 F1 B

I know we have been posting quite a few Ducatis as of late. This is not because we are slaves to the L-twins from Bologna so much as there seems to be a fantastic glut of collectable Ducs on the market these days. This particular 750 F1 is a great case and point.

This example is about as clean as you are likely to find in a 1980s vintage Cagiva-era Ducati. And if the rare model and exceptional condition is not enough to seal the deal, take a peek at the odometer. That’s right, a whopping 22 kilometers. For those metric-challenged readers, the math works out to be less than 14 miles total – or about 1.8 miles per year.

From the seller:
1987 Ducati 750 F1 B original 22km

This Ducati has a clear Georgia title, never registered and in original condition and only 22km. The windscreen was replaced due to a crack (have original if buyer interested) There’s a couple of small nicks from the bike being moved around but, no dents, no dings, no heavy scratches or rub marks on this gorgeous original tri-color paint.

It’s absolutely stunning in person, piece of history that could be museum quality.

The clutch cover appears to have fluid spilled during a clutch bleed (seen in the photo). Everythings works!!! and in original condition. “Sold as is” and along with the bike goes the rear stand, a carburetor rebuild kit and the original windscreen (if interested). 2009 was the last time it was started and it ran and sounded fantastic from the Conti 2 in 1 exhaust, at that time I removed the all fuel (steel tank), changed fluids, drain carburetors and re-assembled but not tightened, removed battery. This bike has spent its 24 years indoors.

This bike is so clean and new, it seems unlikely that the new owner would be willing to put any miles on it. That thinking, while helping to preserve nearly 25 year old motorcycles as new, also prevents them from being ridden like they should. Imagine nevering hearing this beautiful TT race replica booming on the overrun. As an enthusiast, I tend more towards the riding than the collecting – but this one might change my mind…

Values for a 750 F1 has been pretty solid in the $9,000 – $12,000 range as of late. This bike is up to $11,800 at auction, with reserve still not met. All signs point to a bike deserving of a selling price at the top of the range; $13-15k would not be out of line for a machine in this condition pending any crazy reserve setting.
