1972 Ducati "Wideframe"
Sport aka "Z Stripe"
Frame # 750973 Engine # 751283
NOTE: This Sport is being offered
for sale by the current owner. Bevel Heaven
owner Steve Allen will be handling all aspects of this
transaction on behalf of the gentleman who owns it. Steve
has known the owner for about a decade. This bike is in
very good condition but is not perfect, as this bike has been
ridden off & on throughout it's life, not just sitting on
display... It is not a trailer queen.
This fine example of a 750 Sport has a clean California title
and current CA registration. Below is the text that the
owner has provided pertaining to this bike.
*******************************************
The 1972
sport is the rarest of the round case sports - likely less than
40 "wide frame" sports were produced.
This
example was purchased in Germany approximately ten years ago
where it accumulated 7,700 miles before being imported to the
U.S.A. The bike starts easily and runs well. Leaks no oil
at all. Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears. The
carburetors are the correct PHF32 AS/AD Dell'Ortos with alloy manifolds. Contis are original without blemishes.
[edit: there is a small ding
on 1 of the contis]
The bike
was repainted, the color matched to a NOS stock fiberglass gas
tank to get just the right shade of ochre. Tank has been
properly lined. Also included is a second original gas tank
which has been repainted and lined shown above. This tank
shows minor evidence of vapor penetration at the tank top and
will need to be re-lined.
Original
factory fairing is included as shown, with all the correct
fittings etc. Side covers are the correct ones with
perimeter fasteners. Small battery tray is correct.
315mm kick start shaft. Correct fiberglass fenders, rear unique
to 72 sport.
A
regulator failure during a ride last year required replacement
with the correct regulator but damaged the electronic tach which
has been rebuilt along with the speedometer.
Tommaselli Daytona 2C throttle and Aprilia
switches are correct and in perfect working order. Tommaselli
clipons are on the bike. Lockheed front disk works
perfectly, no leaky seals. Marzocchi leading axle front
fork and rear shocks are original and correct. Borrani rims &
Metzelers, has the rare 4.00 rear tire. Although the
correct chrome headlight bucket, idiot lights and switch are
there, an incorrect Aprilia lens is installed as shown in the
detail, a correct JOD Duplo headlight lens has been found and
will be included with the sale of this bike.
[edit: the JOD Duplo has been
installed as noted above]
Rear
fender (the correct wide frame original) has a small crack as
shown in detail above - minor scratches here and there but
overall, bike is stunning and original.
