YES...when I bought my 749 from BCM in New Hampshire, USA, a legendary old school Ducati shop, they used and sold Torco oils. Bruce Meyers himself swears by it. I ran it for a while in my bike before switching for availability reasons. I thought it was fine.

The snowmobile freaks up here (a LOT of 'em) use Torco oils. Apparently it's pretty good oil. They run stuff hard.

I used their octane booster, they give an exact mixing ratio, and i dataloggged my EVO on the stuff, it performed exactly like 100 octane at the mix i had.

It's the real deal.

Used Torco ‘racing’ in my Panhead in the 70s’ and 80s’, no problems or complaints.

as i posted on ducati spot, i'm running it in my hyper evosp and my 1098r, seems great so far. smarty is also using it in his 1198s......give tim at speedysmotorcycles a ring, he'll give you the pro's. They are selling the stuff, i'm sure they can organise a bulk buy if you're interested
