Book Of The Ducati 750SS Round Case 1974

Product Description

Although manufactured for only one year
- 1974
- the Ducati 750 Super Sport was immediately touted as a future classic. It was a pioneer motorcycle
- expensive & rare & produced by Ducatis race department to celebrate victory in the 1972 Imola 200 Formula 750 race. Much of the mystique centred on the 750 SS is a result of this rarity & uniqueness. The 750 round-case Ducati engine was only produced for four years & was discontinued primarily because it was extremely expensive to manufacture. Only one variant of the 750 was fitted with desmodromic valve gear
- the Super Sport. It was also the only Ducati ever h&-assembled in the race shop with special engine components. Although built in small numbers (401) this motorcycle is hailed as the ancestor of Ducatis current World Championship Desmosedici. As a result the 750 SS has become extremely valuable & desirable fetching prices beyond the most expensive contemporary Ducati; for Ducatisti the 750 SS is the Holy Grail. This title
