I know it is collectible as hell but I cant spend that kind of money on a (for me ) just a toy, plus I am not a serious Ducati collector. I do not own this bike nor do I receive any compensation if he sells it. send me a private message if it twists your cork & I'll tell you who to call--But Damn it was pretty

I don't think you would regret owning that one at all ever as Pierre Terblanche put a lot of history and soul into that updated design of a 1972 race winner....

I should have

I was at The IOMTT in 1978, I got to talk to Mike for a while he was a really nice guy, I got his autograph on a card -and that card is in the front of my copy of "The Art Of Motorcycle Racing" by Mike Hailwood
