For Sale: 1985 Ducati 750 F1
Located in iconic New York City lives this beautiful Ducati 750 F1 A series bike with only 438 miles on the clock. I mean seriously people, how do you do that??! Fortunately spared the ravages of time, modifications, terrorist attacks, earthquakes (it was originally found in California) and hurricanes, this wonderful piece of Ducati history is ready to go to a new home.
From the seller:
This is a 1985 Ducati 750 F1A with 570 Kilometers / 361 Miles
It has never been t.i.t.l.e.d. and comes with its ‘Manufacture Certificate of Origin’.Found in California in the rear of a garage, has not been started in more than a decade and will require full servicing. The turn signals plastic mounts were dried beyond repair and have been removed since these photo’s were taken.
With the success of Ducati’s TT1, the decision was made to make a road going version and in 1985 Ducati created their first edition of the 750F1 … Know as the F1A, (593) were produced and is know as the ‘original Ducati companies’ LAST ‘NEW’ and HANDMADE MODEL prior to being sold to Cagiva in 1985 (Many thought Ducati would go out of business at this time – see below). The F1A was a (1) year model and Cagiva in 1986 introduced the 750F1B with new graphics, a steel tank (not aluminum), refined electronics and revised mechanics.
750 F1 models do not come cheap these days. If you peruse the pages and archives of RSBFS you won’t find many that have so few miles – although you will find a reasonable number of the model represented. Already a collector bike in most circles, this particular Ducati might just set a new standard for pricing as well.
This auction is on right now, and the bidding has been stalled at zero bids. Perhaps it is because the seller is looking for an opening bid of $40,000 (!). Yes, you read that right. No, I did not insert extra zeros. This is big, big money for a very recognizable model with very low miles. Is it worth that? Take a look here and then leave us a comment with your thoughts.

He’s dreaming.
Delusional. And wasting everyone’s time, as well.
A fool and his money are soon parted…
