1975 Ducati 750GT

1975 Ducati 750GT. Beautifully presented classic in red and black.
I bought this GT at the end of 2022 intending to use it on sunny days. A knee injury soon put paid to that and I have ridden it about seven miles in my two years ownership. I have to accept that I will not ever be able to enjoy this bike on the road and so it is time for me to pass it to its next owner.
This matching numbers 1975 round case 750GT was imported into the UK in 2018, from the USA via Poland, where the previous owner lived when he bought it in the USA. The description I got when I purchased the bike said that it had been restored to a good standard and the condition of the bike backs that up. However, I was given very little paperwork and nothing prior to it arriving in the UK. It was serviced and MOT’d by Made In Italy Motorcycles in January 2020 and again in October 2022 just before I bought it. It is MOT exempt and the previous MOT expired in October 2023.
I have taken pictures from as many angles as I can to try and show the condition, including the odd blemish. I hope these show that this is a very well cared for bike and I can take further photos of any areas of particular concern if required.
I have a walk around video with it ticking over but I do not use social media so not sure how I can upload this. Please let me know if you would like me to provide the video.
The mileage on the Smiths clocks is showing as 23, 342 and looking at the condition of the bike I have no reason to doubt that this is genuine.
Engine No. 756202 shown on the picture of the engine casing, together with the DM750 stamp.
Frame No. 756202 shown on the picture of the foil sticker on the headstock.
Wheels are beautiful Borrani alloys, pictures show the numbers of front and rear wheels.
Forks are Ceriani.
Front brake is Brembo.
Fitted with the very rare side stand.
Throttle has been modified to the Tommaselli 2C setup for more accurate throttle control.
Conti exhausts as per pictures have the Ducati part numbers to both the down pipes and silencers.
New YB16B battery fitted in 2020.
In my ownership I stripped and sonic cleaned the carbs, replaced the seals and one broken jet. I replaced the rear brake cable because the brake light switch which is part of the assembly was sticking and causing the battery to drain. I have run the bike up when my knees allow and last fired it up a few days ago after the winter lay-up. It started after a few kicks and settled down to a nice 1000rpm tickover.

I have a few workshop manuals and a copy of the original spare parts catalogue which I will include in the sale. If I can find the tools for removing the downpipes and any other odds and ends collected over the years I will also pass them on. This is my second 750GT, the last one went about twelve years ago when I moved house and before my knees packed up! I also had a ’79 900SS which was much more of a beast than the 750. The bike is everything you could wish for in a classic Ducati, prefect handling, pulls like a train and sounds tremendous. I won’t bore you with the history of these bikes as anybody seriously interested will know they are a legend. Please contact me and I will be happy to talk your ears off about this or any other old Ducati.

I have booked the bike in for a service and MOT next week just to reassure the next owner.
