Notable Features and Pricing
Engine Rebuild by Renowned Experts
To ensure this bike is in pristine mechanical condition, we had the engine completely disassembled by a renowned Bevel mechanic. This meticulous process allowed us to vapour blast the cases, barrels, and heads, giving the engine a fresh, brand-new look. Additionally, all bearings and seals were replaced, ensuring reliability and performance for years to come.
Cosmetic Enhancements
We repainted the upper fairing to address minor stress cracks, ensuring it looks as good as new. The tank and seat cowl are immaculate, free from chips or scratches. While the lower green fairing does have small humidity blisters appearing, it does not detract from the bike's overall stunning appearance.
Upgraded Wheels and Tyres
The wheels have been powder-coated to perfection and fitted with near-new Bridgestone tyres, providing a superb ride and enhancing the bike's aesthetic appeal.
Rare and Revered
As one of the last MHR models, this Mille holds a special place in Ducati's history. Ian Falloon, in The Complete Book of Ducati Motorcycles, described it as "arguably the finest bevel engine... the Mille incorporated many updates... relatively rare... the definitive development of the classic bevel twin."
This bike runs beautifully, featuring an electric start and the distinction of being the first bevel with a dry clutch. It’s truly a masterpiece for any serious collector.
Additional Details
The RH Conti muffler, while in excellent condition, does require re-chroming. We are happy to take care of this for the new owner, ensuring every detail is attended to.
