The Ducati 860 GTS was introduced in 1976 and was the first indication that the Ducati factory was able to offer a machine built to the same standards as the Japanese machines coming to market. Based on the Guigaro-styled 860 GT that it replaced and was allegedly not great on the road, the GTS offered a more sensible seat and tank and made for a much more agreeable touring machine.
This 1976 Ducati 860 GTS has formed part of a collection of machines the current vendor's father had gathered before his passing. The Ducati is in very good condition and some work has been carried out in recent years to keep it in good order. Sadly very little is known history about the Ducati other than his father purchased it a few years ago to go with his other one. The 860 has been started since in the son's ownership to keep the oils going around. Some light recommissioning will be required before placing it back on the road. It comes complete with a current V5c.
