Highlights

- Recommissioned in 2021 after a period in storage
- Runs and rides exceedingly well
The Appeal
With a dry weight of 180 kilograms and 73 horsepower nestled behind a carbon fibre fairing, the Ducati Superlight Mk1 was a very special machine. With production numbers coming in at under 1,000 units, examples of this exclusive motorcycle are not found for sale very often making this a great opportunity to add one to your collection.
The vendor informs us that this particular Ducati spent around 10 years in storage before they acquired it in 2021. Now recommissioned for road use, it is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
