Description
Additional photos of this 1975 Ducati 750SS are available here for your perusal.
The “green frame” 750SS from 1974 gets plenty of attention, but the ’75 successor is even more rare with just 249 units built. Ducati built a 900SS alongside the 750SS as the team moved from Formula 750 to endurance racing and were free to go with a larger motor.
Both bikes used the square case motor, and they’re especially desirable in the US as Ducati never officially sold any here – you won’t even find a road test in any American motorcycling magazine of the time.
This example was imported from Argentina and then restored by noted Ducati expert Roy Kidney in 2002. Since then, it has been stored dry on display in the owner’s living room, only moving to the upstairs vault at our headquarters in Marina del Rey, California for viewing by Ducati fans and/or potential new owners. Feel free to come by to check it out in person!
The odometer shows 20,211 kilometers (12,558 miles), though the only usage it has seen since the restoration has been a few feet of being rolled around.
The bike is currently equipped with Michelin Macadam tires and Conti pipes.
We’re having some trouble identifying the VIN – we believe it says DM750SS-75466.
The engine number is 075460 – DM750.1.
While sitting for the last 18 years, the front rotors have developed some surface rust.
Please note that if you plan on riding this motorcycle that you must use non-ethanol fuel only as it is fitted with the original fiberglass tank. Steel and aluminum aftermarket replicas are available if you plan on riding it regularly, and our White Glove service would be glad to help you source such a piece if desired. We are also able to get this 750SS ready for the road if you wish.
This is a rare and beautiful moment in Ducati’s history, and it’s ready to be the center of a new collection!
