In June 1978 the great motorcycle champion Mike Hailwood came out of retirement and rode a Ducati 900 NCR TT1 to victory in the TT F1 race at the Isle of Man. Hailwood was 38 years old and this victory was Ducati’s most significant since the Imola 200 in 1972. As TT F1 regulations required the racing bikes to be based on a production series, in 1978 Ducati engaged their quasi factory racing department NCR to build 25 900 TT1 machines. These were subsequently sold to well-heeled enthusiasts and racers, including Sports Motorcycles in Manchester who entered Hailwood in the TT. This NCR 900 hasn’t been raced and is presented in as new condition, still with the original Michelin tires.
