Well we can't let somebody run unopposed.

Here's a pic of mine:



Year: 1974
Model: 750 GT
Eng size: 748cc
Pipes: Stock headers with no name mufflers
Seat: Stock
Wheels: Stock
Accessories: None
And the story: The story?

I bought this bile from a buddy after about five years of asking. Gave it a tune up and some polishing after I got it home and ended up with this:



Current specs -
Year: 1974
Model: 750 GT
Eng size: 748cc
Pipes: Stock headers with Dunstall replicas. (Temporary)
Seat: Stock - reupholstered
Wheels: Excel flanged alloys, stainless spokes, stock hubs.
Accessories: None
And the story: Ok, fine. I did a bit more than polished it. It was completely rebuilt down to every last nut and bolt. Engine was built to Sport specs, GTS dash, rewired with modern components. House of Kolor Meteor Maroon.

The last year of the first V-twin model Ducati produced. (Yes, they DID build bikes before the 916 came out!)
