Ducati 1973 750 GT ES

Ducati 1973 750 GT ES

Originally exported to the US, this 750 GT ES was imported to Australia in early 2012 and then restored. Only 329 electric start GTs were produced in 1973 and a further 201 the following year. This is a 1974 bike and its engine number of 754045 is very close to the time the leading axle Marzocchi front forks (as seen here) were replaced by centre-axle units. Also at this time Brembo calipers replaced the Scarab units (the latter fitted here) and 860GT electrical parts, such as the CEV handlebar switches & dash panel (as on this bike) replaced the earlier Aprilia switches. The handlebar itself is the lower, European type. Non-original air filters. 57hp at 7,700rpm.
