SELLER SAYS: The owner travelled to the UK to acquire this 450 and rode it around the Italian Alps in 2012 before bringing it back to Oz. Motor was rebuilt by George Poole, a well known Ducati aficionado in Perth, in 2018. The current owner purchased it from the estate in 2020. It has had less than 1000km put on it since the rebuild. The original Smiths clocks show 9,223km. 1974 was the end of the tiny production run of 287 and it saw Ducati use parts from alternative sources; the clocks being an excellent example. In previous years, Veglia clocks were used. The clip-on bars were a popular factory option instead of the flat bars and suits the style of the bike. The wheels are original Italian Radrelli fitted with period-correct, sticky Dunlop Roadmaster TT100 tyres. This bike starts first kick although there is a specific but simple process to it, which you will be shown upon purchase. A highly sought-after piece of motorcycling history that has been kept in the lounge-room for the past few years. It deserves to be in a museum but we’d like to see it used and cherished by the owner. Contact Rex on 08 9244 4441 (Osborne Park – Perth WA).
