1975 Ducati 350 Mark III Registration Number: GWM 84N Frame Number: DM350 S 359445 Early in 1968 Ducati introduced a range of models bearing the name "Scrambler", featuring a revised overhead cam engine design that quickly became known as the "widecase". The "Scrambler" models were eventually offered in four capacities, the 250 and 350 being joined by a 450 model and a 125cc version. The Scramblers were joined later in the year by two revised Mark 3 models, a 250 and 350. Regarded as the performance machine in the range, the 350 was fitted with a white/green camshaft and proved to be capable of 106mph. A 450cc Mark 3 joined the range in 1969. At this time the Mark 3's were fitted with a distinctive twin filler fuel tank and a headlamp mounted speedometer complimented by a separate tachometer, however, for 1970 the instrumentation changed to a separate speedometer and tachometer mounted on brackets in the same style as those employed by the "Desmo" singles. For 1971 the Mark 3 and "Desmo" ranges underwent considerable revisions that resulted in the style of the machines diverging. The "Desmos" adopted a fibreglass tank complimented by a racing style seat with a fibreglass hump and clip on handlebars accentuating its sporting characteristics while the Mark 3's adopted a new petrol tank, followed by a revised dual seat, side covers, instruments and headlight in 1972, reflecting the style of the 750 GT and establishing the machines final form. This Mark III was first registered in April 1975, being in the ownership of a private collector and enthusiast in recent times. Finished in a very 70s shade of orange with a black seat, this cool 350 has all of the looks of the Desmo, at a fraction of the price.

One of the most spectacular creations of its time, the 750 F1 is still one of the most sought after motorcycles in Ducati history. On offer from a private Collection, this fabulous example has not been used since being fully recommissioned. Considered by many enthusiasts to be the last of the 'real' (pre-Cagiva takeover) Ducatis, the race-styled 750 F1 first appeared in 1985. Ducati had already enjoyed considerable success with its Pantah-derived F2 racers in FIM Formula 2 racing - Tony Rutter winning the championship four times running between 1981 and 1984 - so a '750' version was the logical next step.First seen in prototype form in endurance races in 1983, the F1's 748cc engine was the latest in a long line of stretches applied to the original 500c 'belt drive' Desmo unit that had first appeared in the Pantah in 1979. An markedly over-square design of 88mm x 61.5mm bore/stroke, the F1 engine produced around 60bhp and functioned as a stressed element within the frame, the swinging arm pivoting in the rear of the gearbox. Clearly visible above the deliberately cut away fairing sides, the aforementioned frame attracted almost as much attention as the engine: a trellis of short, straight tubes, it has formed the basis of every road-going Ducati since, as well as the first Desmosedici Moto GP racers. In the fashion of the day, the F1 came with a 16" front wheel, while braking power was provided by state-of-the-art triple Brembos. The stock F1 was complemented by a series of hand-built limited edition race replicas – Montjuich, Santamonica and Laguna Seca – the last inspired by Marco Lucchinelli's famous 'Battle of the Twins' race victory at Daytona in 1986.Today, the evocatively named F1 and its derivatives are highly prized by Ducati collectors. First registered on 7th August 1986, this Ducati F1 was purchased by its second owner, the renowned collector and entrepreneur, Robert White, in September 1989 from Three Cross Motorcycles (sales invoice on file). The Ducati formed part of Robert White’s Collection from 1989 up until 2016 when he then auctioned off his collection, with the current owner being the lucky bidder that day and he, in turn, has kept it in his heated garage ever since.In late January 2017, the bike was entrusted to Rhodes & Track for recommissioning and they went right through it including a carb overhaul, replacement hoses, chain, sprockets, plugs, gaskets, battery, fresh fluids, new tyres and the fairing was painted. This work amounted to £1,818 and the invoice is on file.Presented in unrestored condition, this fabulous Ducati displays a, believed-genuine, 10,787km (approximately 6,702 miles) on the odometer and is offered with SORN paperwork and its V5C registration document. N.B. Please note this lot will be sold with a buyers premium of 15% plus VAT as per our usual motorcycle terms.Specification Make: DUCATI Model: 750 F1 Year: 1986 Chassis Number: NA Registration Number: D41 EPR Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 7500821 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

1971 Ducati Scrambler DM450 Desmo. Registration number GAM 912J. Frame number 454334. Engine number 454334. Sold with the V5C, USA title, receipts for the parts used in the rebuild. The Scrambler was mainly designed for the American market. It underwent a number of changes until 1968 with the launch of true Scramblers mounting a “wide casing” engines, first in the 250 and 350 version and then, in 1969, in the 450 version. The bike was popular due to its outstanding frame and the engine was made to measure for its purpose. It was not the fastest motorcycle of its time, but the overall performance and the perfectly centred riding position made it one of the most enjoyable bikes around. GAM was imported from the USA in 2019 (US licence on file) and has been fully restored by the well known Ducati expert, Richard Wujkiw. This includes the engine with new bearings, bushes and seals, electronic ignition, uprated clutch, new carb, the frame has been powder coated, wheels rebuilt with stainless steel spokes, new tyres, seat recovered, rewired with an Electrex World kit, new mudguards and fully painted. He states it starts first kick and it did when brought to the saleroom. Sold with the V5C, USA title, receipts for the parts used in the rebuild.
1975 Ducati 239cc Mark III ProjectRegistration no. KDS 263NFrame no. DM239 104599Engine no. DM239 113067Designed by the legendary Fabio Taglioni, Ducati's first overhead-camshaft single appeared in 1955. Desmodromic valve operation was a feature of the racing versions and would later be applied to the sportier roadsters. The first major revision to the original design occurred in 1967 when the 'wide case' engine was introduced, which featured an aft engine mount wider than before and numerous other improvements, the most significant being a stronger big-end assembly. Mid-way through 1968, the Mark III was introduced in both valve-spring and Desmo versions, differences between the two being confined almost entirely to the cylinder head. Noteworthy subsequent developments included further increases in big-end size; the adoption of a Grimeca double-sided front brake; and the introduction of electronic ignition on the final Mark IIIs in 1973. last produced in 1975, the latter came in blue/gold (valve-spring) and yellow (Desmo) colour schemes, while a Brembo front disc brake was an option on the Desmos. This Mark III was acquired by the vendor, its fourth owner, in 1979. The machine had been crashed and the frame repaired before then, while the tank and bodywork were acquired later. The engine was rebuilt in the 1980s and the Ducati was last on the road in 1996. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, this exciting project is offered with copies of the 1996 MoT and old V5; a lengthy list of components purchased and their costs.Offered without keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1971 Ducati 450 Desmo 'Silver Shotgun'Registration no. HGU 817JFrame no. DM450M3*700910Engine no. DM450 457611• Delivered new to South Africa•Single family ownership from new•UK registered since 2015Superseding the Mark 3, Ducati introduced a new range of Desmo singles in 1971. One of Ducati's most memorable series of sports roadsters, these new 250/350/450 Desmos soon acquired the sobriquet 'Silver Shotgun', a reference to their eye-catching silver metallic paintwork. Standard equipment included Marzocchi front forks, Borrani alloy wheel rims, a Grimeca four-leading-shoe front brake, rear-set footrests, clip-on handlebars, and a white-faced Veglia rev counter. The fuel tank, seat base, side panels, and front mudguard were made of lightweight glassfibre. For 1973, the Desmo range was mildly restyled by Italjet's Leopoldo Tartarini (also responsible for the 750 Sport), the colour scheme changing from silver/black to yellow/black at the same time. Production effectively ended in 1974, though a tiny handful was produced in 1978. The example offered here is one of the early silver models, which many enthusiasts prefer. Produced at a time when both the British and United States distributors were in dispute with the Ducati factory, they are an extremely rare sight in those countries. This Ducati 450 Desmo 'Silver Shotgun' was bought new by the vendor's late father circa 1973 having been standing unsold for a couple of years alongside a 250 Desmo (which he purchased also). He wasted no time in painting it red and fitting a megaphone, as can be seen from the photograph taken in 1974 alongside the 250, which got the same treatment later. The father was a founding member of the South African Motorcycle Club and owned many bikes (see obituary article on file). The Desmo was entered in Classic races in the late 1990s with a different tank and seat fitted (the engine may have been tuned with other cams installed).After the vendor received the Ducati he gave it a light restoration and repaint, and registered it in the UK in 2015, passing the MoT with no problems. The machine has only been used once since then. It was started recently and is said to be running very well. Nevertheless, an oil change and recommissioning is advised before further use. This 450 comes with a new silencer and downpipe, the original silver tank, plus reproduction panels, seat, and mudguard to restore it to the original colour. Alternative cams and a few other spares are included in the sale. Accompanying documents consist of a dating certificate, MoT (2015-2016) and a V5C.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The ex-works, Mike Hailwood 1960 Ducati 125cc Desmodromic 'Barcone' Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleFrame no. D1Engine no. D1• Acquired by Stan Hailwood directly from the Ducati factory• In-period racing history• Known ownership history• Part of the Forshaw Family Collection for 41 yearsDucati's first Grand Prix single was the 125cc Bialbero (Double Overhead Camshaft). This offered improved performance over the single-overhead-camshaft Marianna, but reliability was questionable at high revs. Valve-to-piston clearance was critical with the higher compression ratios now required, compounded by the problem of valve float and the wide included valve angle of 80 degrees. During his days at university, Taglioni had shown interest in desmodromic, or positive valve actuation, and had proposed such a system while at Mondial in 1953. Mondial's conservative Count Boselli would not permit Taglioni to pursue this path, but it was different at Ducati. Almost as soon as he joined the company he began to work on a desmodromic cylinder head for the Gran Sport, and during 1955 produced the first desmodromic prototype. Taglioni's faith in the concept was also reassured by the success of the desmodromic Mercedes W196 Grand Prix and 300 SLR sports cars during 1954 and 1955. Unlike the Mercedes desmodromic system that used a single overhead camshaft with scissor rockers operating the valves, Taglioni went for a triple overhead camshaft (Trialbero) layout with two outside opening camshafts (like the Bialbero), and a central camshaft closing the valves through forked rockers. This was provided with vernier adjustment for precise cam timing. Light closing rocker return springs were initially fitted but later discarded when it was found they were unnecessary, with the risk of broken springs also causing damage. The actual cylinder head design was similar to the Bialbero, with a 31mm inlet and 27mm exhaust valve set, still set at the wide 80 degree included angle, but the Desmo had considerably higher valve lift with 8.1mm inlet and 7.4mm exhaust. Drive to the three camshafts was the usual straight-cut bevel gear and 15mm vertical shaft, but the shaft was waisted to vary the engine's torque characteristics. A shaft diameter of 11mm (the safe minimum) provided peak torque at 8,000 rpm while a shaft diameter of 14.8mm (maximum) gave a higher torque peak. With the narrower shaft retarding the valve timing in relation to piston position this was an early form of variable valve timing. The crown wheel on the central camshaft was pressed into the large diameter central spur gear, but as this sometimes broke, welding later supplemented the press fit.
1969 Ducati 450 MkIII DesmoRegistration no. EPV 129HFrame no. DM450S*460038*Engine no. DM450 450292•Ultra-rare 450 with twin filler tank•Believed mainly original and unrestored•Featured in 'Ducati Scrambler, Desmo & Mark 3' book In the late 1940s Ducati began to produce the Cucciolo engine designed by Aldo Farinelli, and manufactured for SIATA. The Cucciolo was a clip-on engine used on bicycles, and catered to the desperate desire for transport in the post-war aftermath. Eventually Ducati capitalised on their production of the little motor, and manufactured a complete motorcycle powered by a Cucciolo engine. This first machine appeared in 1950, and thereafter they followed a similar path to other Italian motorcycle manufacturers, producing small capacity, economical and inexpensive machines for a transport-hungry public.In 1954 they hired designer Fabio Taglioni, and it is no coincidence that from that point Ducati creations were more sporting-oriented. Unsurprisingly, Ducati's involvement with racing began soon after Taglioni's arrival, and started with a 98cc overhead camshaft engine. Later, for racing, came the double overhead cam engine with desmodromic valve operation, which was to become a feature of many future Ducatis. Triumphant in its first Grand Prix outing, the 'desmo' was here to stay. The road singles of the 1950s and 60s continued in 100, 125, 175 and 200 capacities, whilst smaller machines were given over to two stroke engines. Capacities of the four stroke singles grew to 250, 350 and eventually 450 throughout the sixties, with road, sports and street scrambler versions and desmodromic valve operation eventually appearing on the road bikes from 1968 onward.The vendor acquired EPV 129H in 2013 from Made in Italy Motorcycles, who had imported it from Italy. The machine had featured in Massimo Clarke's book 'Ducati Scrambler, Desmo and Mark 3' (copy of the book included) as an original example of the model (examination of the photographs reveals the same small 'nick' in the offside of the seat cover – although the seat has now been recovered, the original cover comes with the bike). This particular model, with the twin-filler petrol tank, and vintage styling, is so rare that many marque histories fail to mention it. The owner was impressed by the bike's originality, believing much of the paintwork to be original, together with the retained seat cover mentioned above. He has not used it on the road, but it has been started at regular intervals until recently, and kept in dry storage. Only modest re-commissioning and basic safety checks should be required prior to use on the road with a new owner.Documentation comprises the current V5C, an expired MoT certificate, a valuation certificate, and a photocopy maintenance manual, together with the aforementioned Massimo Clarke book. A key is present.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Two owners, circa 800 miles from new 2001 Ducati MH900eRegistration no. CN51 ONPFrame no. ZDMV300AA1B000339Engine no. concealed by bodywork•Boxed limited edition plaque number 93/2000•Present ownership since 2006•Original accessories included'Ducati has turned the design credo of 'form follows function' on its head. It's as if you're expected to look at the evoluzione rather than ride it.' – Bike magazine.Inspired by Mike Hailwood's fairytale comeback victory aboard a Sports Motorcycles-entered Ducati in the 1978 Isle of Man Formula 1 TT, the MH900e (Mike Hailwood 900 evoluzione) was first seen in 'concept bike' form at the 1998 Munich Show. The work of Ducati's design boss, Pierre Térreblanche, it was a personal project never intended for production, but such was the response that Ducati went ahead anyway and announced a limited run of only 2,000 machines, to be sold over the Internet. Combining styling elements of the Multistrada and 900SS, the MH900e deployed the fuel-injected desmo v-twin engine from the M900 Monster in a trademark trellis frame equipped with matching single-sided swinging arm. In fact, identifiable similarities between Hailwood's TT-winning bike and the MH900e were notable by their almost total absence, being limited to a finned sump mimicking that of the old bevel-drive motors. Or as Bike put it: 'Retro meets funk in race-rep fashion statement.' Britain's premier motorcycle journal was right: rather than as an exercise in nostalgia, the MH900e worked far better when assessed as a design in its own right. Its intended market certainly thought highly of the concept, snapping up the entire production run within a matter of hours and thereby creating an instantly collectible classic. Given the MH900e's 'work of art' status, it is not surprising that most have been used sparingly and this example - number '93' of the series - has covered only some 800-or-so miles from new. The Ducati was first owned by a Mr Paul Leeke of South Wales, passing to our vendor in June 2006. Kept in dehumidified storage since acquisition, this beautiful MH900e is presented in wonderfully preserved condition and is a collectors' dream. A Staintune exhaust is fitted at present but the original exhaust box is included in the sale. The machine is offered with old/current V5W/V5C documents; paddock stand; original MH900 evoluzione bike covers (x2); original limited edition 0093/2000 T-shirt; and an owner's manual including warranty booklet (unstamped).
