Ducati 1968 Ducati 450 Desmo description
Extremely rare - fun and fast classic Ducati 450 Desmo wide case, set up for racing, but has lights, horn, battery etc. Bike had been actively campaigned by the previous owner. Can be run in various club race classes and should be very competitive. Excellent short track bike with big torque, solid power and stable handling. Purchased as a collectable, current owner has never raced the bike. Has been carefully stored, maintained and well looked after. Overall decent cosmetics and very good mechanical condition. Real 450 Desmo wide case engine. Numbers matching frame and engine. The engine is stock internally with factory carburettor, rated at 38 HP by Ducati. Modified oiling for improved oiling to the head .. a standard mod for racing, does not affect street rideabilty. Can be kickstarted, but like all big singles - much easier with a rear wheel spinner. Ducati racing Fiberglass tank and solo seat. Rearset pegs and clip on bars. Marzocchi Reservoir shocks. Original tach and speedo. New tires, good brakes. All the right stuff, period correct. A true cafe racer with classic style or a very fast and fun club racer for AFM etc. Sounds awesome, runs strong, handles sweet. Clean California title ... ready to go. |
