Photo: Bring A Trailer
Imagine waking up every day to find this gem waiting for you in the garage.
Ask any self-respecting Ducatista, and they will all tell you the same thing: the 750GT is a true legend among Bologna’s two-wheeled warriors. In fact, we’d say there’s no shortage of riders who would be willing to pay a decent amount for one such entity, so I’ll have you know that a reconditioned 1974 model is auctioned on Bring A Trailer as we speak.
If you happen to be interested in owning this piece of Ducati history, you may place your bid until Thursday, May 13. At the time of this publication, the highest bid sits at $10,666, which is rather modest for a timeless classic that appears to be in the best shape of its life. Let’s take a minute to analyze what exactly we’re dealing with here, shall we?
The Italian brute is brought to life by a bevel gear-driven SOHC L-twin powerplant that packs four valves and a sizeable displacement of 748cc. At around 7,700 rpm, the air-cooled engine will feed 57 horses to a five-speed transmission, which enables the force to reach the rear 18-inch wheel via a chain final drive.
Now, the bike you see in these photos isn’t just extremely well preserved; it also features an array of performance upgrades that are certainly worth mentioning. For instance, its twin-cylinder mill was subjected to a comprehensive makeover, receiving high-performance pistons, a revised clutch mechanism, and a Dynatek electronic ignition module.
Handling improvements are achieved thanks to a pair of Works Performance shock absorbers installed at the rear end and a dual brake rotor setup with Brembo discs up front. Additionally, the saddle has been meticulously reupholstered using top-grade leather.
The entire thing was rewired using a modern wiring harness, while the front wheel has been replaced with an Akront aluminum alternative from Morad’s inventory. All things considered, this isn’t an opportunity you’d want to miss, so we’d strongly encourage that you check this vintage beauty out.
