Seller
This 1981 Ducati 900SS Mike Hailwood Replica was acquired by the seller in 1995, from its second owner, and subsequent work included repainting the frame and bodywork in addition to fitting K&N air filters, Conti mufflers, and Öhlins piggyback shocks. Power is from an 864cc square-case L-twin paired with a five-speed transmission, and the bike is finished in a red, green, and white livery akin to Mike Hailwood’s 1979 TTF1 racer. This 900SS MHR is offered with a clean Utah title.
Features include a full fairing, a clear windscreen, a left side bar-end mirror, turn signals, and a center stand.
Gold-finished 18″ cast-alloy wheels are mounted with Metzeler tires. Suspension consists of a Marzocci conventional fork with black-finished lowers as well as dual Öhlins piggyback shocks mounted to the swingarm. Braking is provided by dual front and single rear Brembo calipers over cross-drilled rotors.
Clip-on handlebars are mounted below the top triple clamp. Ducati blue-dial instrumentation consists of a 220-km/h speedometer, tachometer with a 7,500-rpm redline, a trip meter, and a five-digit odometer showing 26,516 kilometers (16,476k miles). Approximately 8k kilometers (~5k miles) have been ridden by the seller.
The 864cc air-cooled desmodromic L-Twin features bevel-driven overhead camshafts, Dell’Orto carburetors, a see-through cam gear cover, K&N air filters, and a chrome Conti dual exhaust system. The engine was fine-tuned in 2022, and the fuel pickup wiring was replaced at that time.
A beautiful classic that has been meticulously kept and thoroughly enjoyed. Now ready for its next caretaker.

Look what Red found! What a beauty!
Though we have seen many Ducatis here, this is only the second 1981 MHR that we have posted in the past 16 years.
Mike found one in 2010, “Renowned for his natural riding ability, Mike “The Bike” Hailwood cemented his legacy by coming out of an 11-year motorcycle racing retirement to win the 1978 Isle of Man TT on a Ducati 900. This bike was created by Ducati to honor the legendary racer, who was sadly killed in an auto accident the same year this particular bike was released.”
If you are interested in seeing the specs, you can find them at autoevolution.
And there are many more photos on ebay – the seller covered all the details – definitely check out the full listing.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
