TWO Rare ’86 Ducatis: 750F1 and Montjuich

For Sale: 1986 Ducati 750F1 and 750F1 Montjuich

The first bike in this ultra-desirable pair is a 1986 Ducati 750F1. Modeled after Ducati’s successful TT1 and TT2 racers, the F1 was a surprisingly compact package; riders accustomed to larger-sized 750 machines from competing vendors found the bike to be quite small. Times were tough for Ducati in the mid-80s, and limited numbers of these limited edition bikes were sold.

The narrow arrangement of the Ducati v-twin afforded a very cozy cockpit, and the wrap around bodywork ensured that full aerodynamic benefit could be realized.

From the seller:
86′ 750F1 – 2,851 Kilometers – Vin # ZPM3AA3L3GB751925

I have owned this motorcycle since 2004 and was purchased from its original owner. It is a perfect original example that is registered in my name. Needed will be a tuning, new tires and adjustment or replacement of the steering head bearings, something known to fail from lack of use. The photos speak for themselves and there is no surprises about this motorcycle.

The current auction is for both bikes, but you can jump over now by .

The second bike in this auction is perhaps one of the most collectible Ducatis of the modern (rubber band) era: 1986 750F1 Montjuich

Based as an exclusive offering and built off of the 750F1 foundation, the Montjuich was designed to be the ultimate 750F1. Changes to the standard 750F1 included updated cylinder heads with bigger valves, higher compression pistons, larger 40mm Dellorto carbs, and a free flowing exhaust system. The transmission was fitted with a lighter clutch assembly and straight cut gears. the tank was aluminum, as were the wheels (complete with magnesium alloy spokes). With only 200 copies created worldwide, these bikes are in very short supply.

The Montjuich is named after a street track which was located in Barcelona, Spain. This was a venue where Ducati enjoyed many victories. Note the aerodynamic additions to this bike, including the bubble windscreen to encourage top-speed running.

From the seller:
86′ MONTJUICH – 2,274 Kilometers – ZDM3EA3ROGB0001xx

Cycle World Magazine, August 1986 said (10) of the (200) Montjuich’s would come to the USA. The Montjuich is the rarest and most collectible Ducati made since the Green frame 1974 750 Super Sport.

Originally sold from Ghost Motorcycles this motorcycle has always been in the Northeast. Two years ago this motorcycle was bought from a collection in Long Island who’s owner had passed away. Last registered in 1998 this motorcycle has been off the road to my knowledge since and during my ownership has not been started. There is oxidation on some of the metal of this bike and a full detailing and some metal refinishing will be needed to bring this motorcycle to show detail (see photos). Expect to replace the tires and provide full servicing. The paint on the fairings, tank and seat are excellent for a 25 year old motorcycle.

Having the opportunity to purchase either one of these bikes would qualify as a RARE event, but to be able to snag BOTH of them in a single auction must certainly be a first. Here are two very well preserved bikes of the same year and lineage, both of them very collectible. The BIN on these beauties is not cheap, but neither of these bikes will ever be what you would call an “economy model” motorcycle.
