Ducati Falcon 80 description

Purchased from the son of the late US west coast importer (Euromart), along with several Ducati derelicts, around 2005. At the time, the bike didn't have a front end, exhaust, seat or tank, and I was told the engine had never been started. If true, I would assume the bike was robbed for parts back in the day, and left to sit in the warehouse I bought it from. Not very well respected, these 2-strokes, let's face it.

I had enough NOS stuff to rebuild the front end and a donor headlight from a Mountaineer (speedo shows about 1200 miles or so). NOS tank and seat were found on Ebay. NOS exhaust pipe sourced from Domiracer, used muffler was the best I had. I pulled the top end to take a look, everything is PERFECT.

Condition is 'survivor excellent'. Includes extra original purple Marelli spark plug in toolbox. Some scratches, some rust (mostly to areas of the front wheel), handlebar switch works fine but isn't perfect. Please look at the photos carefully.

Otherwise GUARANTEED to run and ride perfectly. I rode it around a few miles on completion, and it's been in my bedroom ever since. Time for another home. The bike was recently shown at the 2016 Quail Gathering to quite nice reviews.

Clear California title in my name. Yeah, I know it's a lot of money. But you will likely never find another in this condition. If she doesn't sell, I may put some fuel and fluids back in her and post a riding video. We'll see. Currently only selling to USA, that may change also, depending on interest...

I will answer questions promptly, thanks for looking.

Rossi & Ducati: 2011 vs 2012

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

It was meant to be an Italian dream reminiscent of the era when Giacomo Agostini dominated Grand Prix with MV Agusta, but ever since Valentino Rossi joined Ducati he has dwindled into a mid-pack runner. There have been glimmers of hope, a Ducati-best for Rossi in the rain at Le Mans and a good showing in the last round at Mugello. Clearly his best dry weather performance, finishing 11 seconds behind the race winner and within eye-shot of the podium.

MotoGP Lifts Rookie Rule, Caps Factory Prototype Entries and Adjusts Other Regulations

Fri, 29 Jun 2012

As expected, MotoGP organizers have officially lifted the rule barring rookies from racing for factory teams, but the Grand Prix Commission also tweaked some other regulations including a cap on factory prototype machines. We’ve discussed the lifting of the rookie rule already, with the main impetus being to allow a manufacturer such as Honda to sign up-and-coming Moto2 star Marc Marquez when he is expected to move up to the premiere class next season. As of Jan.

Official: Rossi Leaving Ducati for Yamaha Return

Fri, 10 Aug 2012

In a pair of carefully-timed press releases, Ducati announced it will part ways with MotoGP star Valentino Rossi at the end of the season and Yamaha announced it has signed Rossi to a two-year contract. The arrangement had been in the works for some time now and the two manufacturers had reportedly wanted to wait until Aug. 15 to make their announcements.
