Description
The Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica (MHR) is a classic motorcycle celebrating Mike Hailwood's 1978 Isle of Man TT victory on a Ducati NCR. Introduced in 1979, it was based on the existing 900SS but with distinct features like a one-piece fairing, fiberglass fuel tank, and a more racing-focused seat.
The MHR was presented at the 1979 London Motor Show, one year after Mike Hailwood won the Tourist Trophy (TT F1 category) riding a 900 SS developed by Ducati's racing team NCR. This 1982 example is an early desirable 900 kick-start version in very original condition. Including an un-obtainable original MHR stamped screen. Finished in the original "Castrol" sponsors Green, Red & White detail colour scheme
Imported from a large collection in Japan into the UK in July 2024 having been in storage for a number of years and will therefore require recommissioning. The bevel drive engine is free and turns over easily with good compression, and the bike moves freely and appears to be ready for little attention to get it back up & running and on the road once again.
Import documentation and UK taxes paid and ready for registration with the DVLA if required.
