Does anyone know much about this model? I am hoping someone could tell me if this is the machine that the current 'sport classic' is based on. If so, what sort of price do the older bikes go for?
thanks in advance

it was Ducatis first 750 L twin, try Classic bike for pricing as I think there were a few models, some of which go for silly money, like over £20k, others for more like £3k+

have a look at www.mdinaitalia.co.uk

If you look at the customers bikes page, you will see my mate Paul Russ Bike 750GT which he paid about £3k for. Andrew Nahums 750SS is worth a whole LOT more.

It.s the 750 imola that commands big bucks. 750sport classic ducati pre desmo l-twin. Looks so much better than the sport classic which designers took the influence for. looks very like the original 900ss, but in yellow with black lining.normally unfaired.. the engine is the roundcase version as opposed to the later square case. Very early ones had a wide rear subframe same as the GT but they soon changed to a slimmer sub and seat unit. I have a cafe'd 750GT. Used to know John at Mdina in above post, great guy passionate about the bevel dukes, call him. say Roy in Redhill sent you. If he remembers after the years.

In 2004 I bumped into a bloke whilst I was racing at Donington. He was racing a real genuine original 750 Imola - it was rough as a badgers arse cos it had never been restored. It was gorgeous.
