The Ducati 750 F1 model series (which includes the base F1, the Montjuich, the Laguna Seca and the Santamonica) represented the next step for the racing oriented company. Armed with a newly designed L-twin “Pantah” engine, this is the spiritual and victorious successor to the bevel drive racers such as the fabled green frame 750…
Update 8.27.14: I’ve been alerted that this bike is now sold. Thanks again for choosing a Featured Listing Ted! -dc Introduced in 2008, Ducati’s Desmosedici RR is perhaps the most collectable of modern Ducatis. Much more than just another WSB homologation-special or a tape-and-paint Repsol Honda, it’s a true race-replica sporting a genuine Moto GP…
Until very recently, Bimota’s exotic, Ducati-powered offerings like this DB2 featured the air/oil-cooled two-valve engines, instead of the more powerful four-valve water-cooled engines from the 851/916 models. This meant that, although the bikes weren’t the fastest straight-line performers, they were light and lithe, enabling riders to make good use of every horse available. This was…
Motorcycle Designer Pierre Terblanche is a somewhat controversial figure in the world of motorcycle design. Notably held responsible for Ducati’s controversial 749/999 bikes and Sport Classics, you’ll find a great deal of internet hate directed at him. I happen to be a fan of the 749/999 bikes but I acknowledge that they’re not especially pretty…
These Ducati MH900e models are popular collector bikes, given the low number of miles that seem to accumulate on them (the first bike on this list is the rare, er, the RSBFS exception). By all standards, these are not mechanically unique rides. The Ducati two-valve, air cooled L-twin has been a rock-solid performer since bell…
I really wanted to post up yet another wonderfully weird and definitely non-sucky Buell but, unfortunately for fans of that misunderstood marque, I stumbled across this sharp-edged Bimota DB5R first, so all you lovers of perimeter brakes and double-duty components will have to wait for another day to get your fix. And, in a way,…
What we have today is a trifecta of Sport Classic models: A 2002 MH900e, a 2006 1000 LE Paul Smart, and a 2007 1000 LE. Both 1000 LE models have never been registered, and all three bikes claim to have no mileage on them. This is one of those “instant collection” sort of deals. Why…
With the US and world economies on the rebound, do super-expensive toys like the vaunted D16RR start rising in value? There seem to be some artificial price thresholds in the market, with $50k USD being one of the major ones. Desmosidicis generally fall above this line, and as a result become mere eye candy for…
