In spite of Ducati’s continued success in World Superbike and Moto GP, their most famous victory was arguably Mike Hailwood's amazing win in the 1978 IOM TT Formula 1 race. Having retired from bike racing in the late 1960s and carrying injuries from his Formula 1 car racing career, ‘Mike The Bike’ topped the podium on his comeback, burnishing his legend still further. . To commemorate his wonderful achievement aboard the NCR Sports Motorcycles Ducati, the factory introduced a race replica based on the 900SS. Originally titled the ‘900 Replica’, the 1979 model was only produced in a limited run of 300 and had a fibreglass cover over a regular 900 Super Sport fuel tank. From 1980 onwards the fuel tank was made from steel but the bike was essentially the same as the 1979 version with Brembo brake callipers and Dell’Orto carburettors.
This Mike Hailwood Replica, a Mk3 version, includes an aftermarket single seat and tail unit. The bike has recently been imported from Japan and will require light recommissioning. Please look at photos carefully as they form part of the description.
