For Sale: 1988 Ducati 750 F1
After all the positive feedback on the last 750 F1 post on RSBFS, I was thrilled to find another one for our readership. This one, however, is a little different. This is the only picture the seller has opted to share. And while that same great Ducati shape shows well at a distance, the finer details are clearly missing.
From the seller:
very rare,limited production,stays in livingroom,,appraised @29,900 hand built,chromed,stealbraided lines brembo brakes,floating cast iron roters,42mm,direct flo delortoes,dir.flo petcocks,street legal,or win @track,,full fearings,red,white,green,custom paint,matching jimmy adamo helment,forcelle suspension new rubber,only 6373k miles will consider serios offer,,,,,,bike is to fast,,,and winnes every show i put it in,not to mention every race!!!!
These 750 F1 Ducatis came in multiple flavors. In addition to the base 750, Ducati offered three hotter versions: the Montjuich, the Laguna Seca, and the Santa Monica. While any F1 is a desireable machine, ultimately the factory hot rods will bring more money at auction.
This auction is on right now with an opening ask of $9,000 plus reserve. $9k is not out of line for a clean 750 F1, but it remains to be seen where the reserve is set. The BIN for this bike is $12,000 – again, not out of line for a 750 F1, but questionable for a bike we know so little about. First step would be to ask for more info and pictures.
To check out the auction, . If you find out more, be sure to let us know. And tell ’em you saw it on RSBFS!

There’s no BIN anymore and the starting bid is now 10k. This bike has been listed before and failed to attract a bid. I am sure if the seller had some feedback rating, better quality photos and some command of the English language s/he would sell the bike easily. The vin number, decals, front fender, fairing lower and dual seat spell out a desirable 88 model so, if michaelsmotorcycles can get $9500 on eBay for their F1, this one should sell. But it won’t because of the poorly thought out and executed item description.

This seller is a tool and wasting everyone’s time with this piss poor marketing attempt. Get real- zero feedback= no credibility or trust, no mechanical history of the bike supplied, one terrible picture, and he throws out this insult to buyer’s intelligence: “appraised at $29,900”? He expects someone to just start bidding by committing $10,000 to him? I’ve seen better communication skills and honesty in listings for used brochures. Epic fail. Keep your damn bike and go away.
yup… got to agree with you guys. i would like to have this bike, but it sounds like it’s too fast and the rest of the description i cannot understand. too bad, really.
