1980 Ducati 900 Mike Hailwood Replica MHR
£24, 500 ONO
Will be exhibited at the Stafford International Classic MotorCycle Show on the 20-21 April and can be inspected there.
One of the first 500 Mike Hailwood Replicas built following Mike Hailwood’s famous TT victory - without side panels, with one piece fairing, Conti silencers, 40mm carbs, Brembo Goldline calipers, Km Speedo and the desirable FPS alloy wheels with polished rims (avoid bikes with the Speedline magnesium wheels, these have serious issues and alternatives are hard to find).
It has covered 11, 172 miles and has 3 previous keepers from new with good MoT history. The Factory crankcase seal is intact, ensuring that the engine remains unmolested. The oil has been changed every year and the motorcycle has been maintained by Paul Klatkiewicz of Ducati Technical Services, the acknowledged Bevel expert. Work includes most recent service at 11, 172 miles in June 2023, Desmo service at 8. 846 miles. Previously maintained by Luigi Moto, the well respected Ducati expert.
A UK Bike, retaining the original frame paint, bodywork has been refreshed to a high standard. Where sensible mods have been made original parts have been retained to allow them to be refitted if required, eg stainless fasteners & brake pins, brake hoses, bevel cover (replaced by gear gazer), bellmouths etc.
Registered as Historic Vehicle, so Tax & MoT exempt.
Can be delivered anywhere in the mainland UK.
Unlike many bikes in show condition this is a beautiful, reliable, usable motorcycle which has taken me throughout Britain during the past 8 years - to Scotland, Castle Combe, the Isle of Man and many other locations.
It remains a show winning bike in excellent condition – it has featured twice on Henry Cole’s Motorbike Show TV series (you can see Henry riding it for the Motorbike Show Ducati Story in the pics), and has graced the front cover of Desmo Magazine.
