A superb and rare photo of the famous Ducati 750 SS at the 1976 24 hours endurance race.
This Ducati 750 SS is one of the very first series 750 SS models of which only ca. 200 were
made. They were based on the machine that brought Ducati the legendary
victory at the
In the early 1970’s, racing with production-based
machinery was extremely popular in Europe. These events were responsible for
the quick gaining popularity of the heavier sports motorcycles, like the Ducati
750 SS, the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, the Benelli 650 Tornado and the Laverda 750
SFC, but also British machines like the Norton Commando, Triumph Trident &
BSA Rocket 3, but also the Japanese superbikes like the Honda CB 750 Four and
the Kawasaki two strokes. Riders that would make world fame, like Franco Uncini
and Marco Lucchinelli, all participated in these races before they made the
steps to the Grand Prix World Championship racing scene.
The Ducati 750 SS was an immense success, its racing
versions, like the one on the photo; made sure the production machine did what
it promised. The recently introduced Ducati Sportclassic model series is yet
another great tribute to the machine shown in the image. The Sport
Classics were a long time coming since their introduction as concept bikes at
the Tokyo Show of 2003.
The Sport Classic range comprises three
different bikes: The limited-edition Paul Smart 1000, inspired by the legendary
Imola 200 winning machine of 1971 (and the 750 SS!), the GT1000 (inspired by
the 750GT of 1973) and the single seat Sport 1000 which takes its inspiration
from the bright yellow Ducati 750 Sport of 1973-1978.
