1974 Ducati 750 GT
This is a 1974 Ducati 750GT
that I purchased in late 2005. It has a clean NJ title and is
currently registered. The bike was purchased in California, and
was represented to me that the tires, chain, sprocket, clutch,
and brakes were recently replaced or rebuilt. I provided
documentation to the seller, so he could “de-register” it from
CA at that time.
Soon after, I had the steel
bodywork repaired and repainted in its original paint scheme.
The bike was re-wired with a new harness. Tank and side cover
badges are reproductions.
This bike retains its original
four fuse fuse box, but I bypassed the master fuse with an
inline fuse holder for safety. This simply uses male bullets
and can quickly and easily be removed if desired.
The bike was serviced in late
2014, including replacing a worn bushing for the kick starter
shaft, and replaced the worn seal. The oil was changed, new
tires and tubes were installed, and the carbs were rebuilt. The
bike runs very strongly, and I am not aware of any mechanical
issues.
For the 9+ years I’ve owned the
bike, it was always garaged and well-maintained. However, this
is still a 40 year old motorcycle, and there are some cosmetic
issues. I will try my best to fairly and completely describe
them:
·
Rims/Spokes are
Radaelli and probably original. They are steel and there is
some oxidation visible.
·
Front brakes were
modified with dual Brembo disks. This was a period upgrade.
·
Seat was recovered
and does not have the “DUCATI” logo on the back.
·
The stock handlebars
and clamp were replaced.
·
Rearsets were
upgraded with Dr. DESMO billet controls.
·
Oil drain plug was
cross-threaded when I acquired the bike. This was repaired with
an insert. Oil dipstick was recently replaced.
·
Two fins are missing
on horizontal cylinder near sparkplug opening. Since this
happened before I purchased the bike, I do not have the broken
pieces.
·
Smiths speedometer
was replaced with NOS. Bike’s mileage is unknown.
·
Most rubber/plastic
parts were replaced due to age, including grips and kickstand
rubber.
·
Instrument cluster
is a reproduction part. Brackets and indicator lights are
original. Neutral switch and turn signal indicators are not
wired.
·
Has original Conti
exhaust. Chrome is 40 years old. There is some rust from water
sitting between the cans and the mounting brackets.
·
Shocks are Konis,
and are slightly too long for the bike (~1 cm / ˝”).
·
Ignition was updated
with coils. Lock was replaced with NOS.
·
Small dent on the
top of the front fender.
·
Headstock lock key
is missing.
I’m selling this bike simply
because I’m using it less and less, as I’ve acquired other
motorcycles. It is a great bike, as is, or with a little
attention can be made into a stunning show piece.
I can help with shipping, and will
ship overseas, provided all costs (shipping, crating, lock,
straps, etc.) are borne by the buyer. Please understand that I
work full time, which may limit my ability to help.
