New York, New York

Welcome to the world of Pantah's ... Taglioni's last designed motor was put in production in 1979 remained in use through 1986 (It is the basis of every Ducati engine since). The 1985 750F1A was also the last motorcycle Taglioni designed and what is considered the last 'hand built' Ducati produced prior to Cagiva purchasing the company in 1985. Built prior to the Cagiva take over the ‘A’ is the important note, (593) were built and this is #499. (In 1986/87 approximately 1,200 750F1B's were built by Cagiva). I believe #499 to be the most original Ducati 750F1A in the country (maybe the world) and only that has not been titled. I've owned many F1's and #499 will be the jewel of any collection and truly an appreciating asset. #499 was originally delivered in Santa Monica California, the gentleman had ties to the motorcycle industry and was able to take delivery without first titling or registering it. After riding it 570 Kilometers, 361 miles he rode to his mother's house who made him promise he would never again ride the bike. Convincing, the bike was pushed into the rear of her garage on that day and where I learned of it parked in 2006 twenty years later. With the motorcycle comes the original Ducati document - the Manufactures Statement of Origin - Photo included - This bike is most likely the only 1985 750F1A in the United States with this document and has never been titled. It was my dream to put this bike into the rear of my garage and forget about it for the next twenty years. When received the motor turned, the signage lights were dried and cracking as all do and removed. There was still fuel in the aluminum tank that had clogged the petcock and some of the black coated items such as the exhaust and clip-ons had oxidation. A good service, minor refinishing and a good detailing would accomplish what I have in mind to make this the wonderful original example this is. Selling a motorcycle that has not been run in 30 years did not sound good, so in the past weeks I lubricated the cylinders, removed the rotting K&N Filters, fueled the carburetors and got the motor to sputter to a start. The motor runs but the bike will require full serving, cleaning of the fuel system, tires, fluids, etc.Bonhams January Las Vegas Auction a 750F1A I was told had 19,000 Kilometers sold for $18,400 +12% premium = $20,608 - bonhams*com/auctions/22125/lot/286/ PLEASE READ PRIOR TO BIDDING - Kindly ask questions prior to bidding.

What they said about the 750F1A The magazine 'Motorcycle International' titled their article about the 750F1A "Extinction with Distinction" written by Fraser Stronach (article below). In the articles closing Fraser writes, "If the Formula 1 Replica is the last Ducati it's a hell of a way for the name to go out." Mick Walker wrote about the F1 ... "To the true believers the F1 represents the last of the real Ducatis, in other words the traditionally raw-boned sporting motorcycle, without an ounce of fat to be seen anywhere. With its razor-sharp styling, the F1 evoked a passion in Ducati Lovers" ... "It was fitting, therefore, that this model should have been one of the best ever to come out of the Bologna factory, A motorcycle in the true Italian tradition. With a chassis based on the four-times World Championship winning, F2 racer, it was endowed with road-holding and handling to match the very best." Cycle World Magazine said "Ducati must have known a line was about to be drawn in the history books and the people there must have wanted to leave a last entry. Because the F1 is everything an Italian sports bike is expected to be and so seldom is." From "The Ducati Story" by Ian Falloon / Haynes Publishing 1996 As expected, there were plans to prorhice a street version of the TT1 racing bike, and, typically, it took a while in coming. While replica frame kits made by Harris were available in England for the Pantah engine, at Ducati the original Pantah soldiered on. The TT2 and TTl had brought them track success, but there was still a question over the reliahility of the Pantah crankcases when the engine was enlarged to 750 cc. 1983 was also the time of negotiations regarding the Cagiva takeover, so both production and development were limited. Also, because a new oil-cooled V-four 1,000 cc engine was being developed at the same time, resources were stretched, and this delayed the introduction of the 750Fl. However, the commencement of Cagiva control saw the V-four project cancelled, and by mid-1984 a prototype 750F1 was displayed. This hike used a replica of the Verlicchi racing TT2 frame with a steel cantilever swing-arm, and provision for a centre-stand. A square headlight was fitted in the full Fairing, and it had 16-inch gold-painted Oscam wheels. Claimed power was 70 bhp at 9,000 rpm, with dry weight at 165 kg (364 lb). Other features were a hydraulic clutch and a two-into-one exhaust system. 36 or 4C mm Dell'Orto carburettors were specified, and the compression ratio was a high 10.4.1. In mid-November 1984, photographs of mock production bikes appeared, now with an 18-inch rear wheel, and in February 1985 the 750Fl was premiered at the Sydney Motorcycle Exhibition. It still didn't have the fully-floating Brembo 280 mm front discs and 260 mm rear, but the engine was painted black and had a Conti two-into-one exhaust system, claimed to meet all noise regulations. The red frame, sourced from the TT2 / TTl, had been widened to accommodate the camshaft belt covers and an adjustable steering damper fitted to complement the 16-inch front wheel. Even before the bike had gone into production there was controversy surrounding the fitting of a 16-inch front wheel.

Hendersonville, Tennessee

Moving Sale, or rather 'offered for sale', because I'm moving... Not for the 'faint of wallet'. Allen Millyard 1972 Kawasaki H2 1000-4. Converted in 2002 by Allen Millyard in Thatcham, England. The last, and best of the three bikes he built for me. The 1970 Kasasaki H1 850cc five cylinder is now in a private collection. The 1973 Kawasaki H2A 1250cc five cylinder is now in a museum. The Barber Museum now owns three Millyards and is most likely to acquire more. Three 1972 H2 1000-4, and two 1975 H2C 1000-4 exist, this being the nicest of the '72s. Jim Knight, was one of the worlds best H2 restorers and lives near me. It's been ridden just once to his house and back, where he performed his concourse restoration treatments. The bike is in perfect condition, and has a clear Tennessee title. Price $45,000 or very near offer. Also offered for sale. 1980 Ducati 900 Mike Haiwood Replica series one. Photograph 22. Do not confuse the 'series one' model with the later less desirable models. Number 355 of the original 500 series ones. 150 1979s were built which sold out immediately, so a further 50 1979 1/2 followed. Whilst these are very collectable, they are not very attractive. For 1980 300 of the more beautiful models were built. These included all the desirable parts from the '79 model, but with a proper gas tank, color scheme, and graphics. Purchased new by my friends father from Mike Hailwood at his shop Hailwood and Gould in 1980. Registered in the U.K. Price $40,000 or very near offer. 1982 Bimota KB1 series three.

Price $42,500 or very near offer. 1982 Scuderia NCR TT. Photograph 24. One of only two road bikes built by the legendary Ducati race team. Not to be confused with the well known TT2 which is more a Ducati product than the TT which is pure NCR. Built in Germany from a kit. It failed it's TUV inspection when he tried to pass it off as a Ducati Pantah. It was then hidden until 2005 when it resurfaced and was resurrected. Again it was unable to be used in Germany because of ultra strict type certification. It was brought to the USA and has a clean Tennessee title as the original donor bike. It has basically never been used since new. I have ridden it three times and it's runs perfectly. Price $40,000 or very near offer. 1965 Dunstall Atlas Domiracer. Photograph 25. Built by Paul Dunstall in South London for R.J Reynolds tobacco heir Zach Reynolds. You can see a picture of Zach sitting on the bike with Paul at the zachreynolds web site. Sold at his estate sale in 1982 and stored since. The bike has damage to the right hand side of the fairing caused by a baby bed falling on it. It will take an excellent painter to repair and restore it correctly. Only 1500 miles from new. Original Dunlop racing tires are included as they had to be removed before being allowed into the US because they did not have DOT stamps on them. I have all the receipts signed by Paul Dunstall for the bike, spare parts and shipping.
