1974 Ducati 750 Sport

Based on the original 750GT tourer, the 750 Sport was an altogether more exciting looking beast and backed up its stunning good looks with improved performance courtesy of a power hike from 50 to 56 hp.

Built only until 1974, the sport underwent minor changes to its front fork and disc brake but otherwise changed little. It was only sold in the classic yellow/black livery shared with the Desmo singles. First of a noble line of sporting Ducati v-twins, the 750 Sport is a landmark motorcycle; much rarer than, for example, the later Mike Hailwood Replica, this is one of the most sought-after of all Ducatis.
