1986 Ducati F1B 750 Rare Ducati F1B 750 in nice condition. 42K original Kilometers (26K Miles). I am the second and fourth owner, bike has a Connecticut assigned VIN, and is titled and registered in my name. Bike has been lightly modified with BCM pistons and 900SS cams by Bruce Meyers with follow-on servicing performed primarily by K. Thompson. Kawasaki ZX-7R 4-piston front brake calipers and brake and clutch master cylinders are currently installed for improved performance. Original Brembo calipers and master cylinders are included along with a Montjuïch race pipe and factory shop manual. The bike runs but poorly as I believe the carburation requires sorting. I’m selling the bike as it is now too hard core for me at my age. Price is $8,750 and the bike is located in southern New Hampshire, USA.

Second and fourth owner. Sold it, missed it, bought it back. That tells you everything about the 750 F1.
This is the bike a lot of Ducatisti call the last real Ducati, the last superbike developed and built by Ducati before the Cagiva takeover in late 1985. Per Ian Falloon’s Standard Catalog of Ducati Motorcycles, only 1,801 750 F1s were built in 1985 and 1986, plus 700 limited edition versions. Tricolore bodywork, trellis frame, and it looks right at home in front of a garage door.
It’s not stock. BCM pistons, 900SS cams, and ZX-7R brakes up front, but the original Brembos come with it, so the brakes can go back to stock. It also runs poorly, and the seller is upfront that the carbs need sorting. The Connecticut assigned VIN is the other thing a buyer will want the story on.
For reference, a 1986 750 F1 sold for £12,880 at Iconic Auctioneers’ Race Retro sale in 2024. That one had only 10k kilometers.
Anyone know Bruce Meyers or K. Thompson’s work? And would you put it back to stock or keep the upgrades?
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
The price seems about right
put the Montjuich pipe on have fun.
