A superb and rare photo of the magnificent Spanish
motorcycle champion Benjamin Grau in action with the equally
magnificent Ducati 900 NCR in 1982.
Grau is seen riding a factory Ducati 900 NCR.
The engine was a modified Ducati 900SS unit and delivered a power output of
110bhp at 8,500 r.p.m. This was enough to propel the bike to a top speed of 156
mph (251 km/h).
In the 1970’s and 1980’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.
Without doubt the Ducati NCR was one of the best
machines for the 1970s endurance racing scene.
Without doubt this is a rare opportunity to obtain a
very nice image that reflects a wonderful era of Ducati and N.C.R. ’s rich
history in a wonderful way. This is your rare chance to own this image,
therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8" x 12" (ca.20
x 30 cm).
