We’ve seen an unusual number of never ridden Ducati’s this week, and here’s another to add to the pile: A 1985 Ducati F1 750 available in Australia. This one could’ve benefit from a detailing before the pictures were taken, but you can clearly note how shiny the paint is nonetheless. The signals are hanging from…
It always starts the same way. Sitting at my desk doing research in the ultra-plush offices of www.RareSportBikesForSale.com I find a cool bike that I just know that our readers would love. Then I get the nagging suspicion that I have seen the bike before. Quickly jump into the archives and… there it is. So…
Okay, so here’s the thing: all of my early opinions about the 750 F1 were informed by Mick Walker’s Illustrated Ducati Buyer’s guide where the bike got one freaking star. I’m not sure where I put my copy, so don’t crucify me if I got that bit wrong, or if you have an updated edition…
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.

Bradley, IL – 8,149mi — $3,550 No Reserve Long before the days of bikes and cars only being identified by alphanumeric codes and acronyms, there was the CBR600 Hurricane. The name just makes it sound awesome, and it is kind of sad that U.S. doesn’t have the Fireblade name for our 1000RR. Only a…
If you only had money for one, which would you choose? The seller that brought us the Ducati Santamonica at the end of February has found some other gems in the back of his garage. Like the Santamonica, these bikes are actually located in Italy but listed on Ebay UK. Another fine example of…
I know I would be quickly ejected from any Ducati gathering for even considering these bikes were named after a sunny California beach town. Maybe all those pictures of Bimota Santamonica’s bathed in California sun have influenced me. As the Ducati faithful surely know, these bikes were named in honor of Lucchinelli’s TT-F1 victory at the Autodromo Santamonica in 1986. They…
