Matching numbers Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica 900
900 MHR NCR
This is a genuine 1984 Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica transformed in Japan to this incredible NCR Replica.
Since acquiring the bike 10 years ago I have loved using it, taking part in various classic events including a couple of visits to the IOM TT Classic where it was much admired. It has always attracted enormous interest with it's looks and the sound from those glorious Contis.
Although I have added my fair share of miles, it still only has just over 16, 000 km (just 10, 000 miles) on the clocks which I believe to be genuine. (Reg document says 1983 manufacturing date but it should be 1984)This is the final round case version of the bevel 900 produced for a very short time in 900 and 1000 models benefiting from much improved engine internals, hydraulic clutch and an electric start (which works very well). It is considered to be the finest of the bevel drive L twin motors, as described in Ian Falloon's seminal book; Ducati Bevel Twins.
I have fitted Venhill brake cables and improved side stand to make the bike easier to handle. Recent new battery.
The bike was customised in Japan. I imported it from Japan to the UK;
Verlicci aluminium tank, custom rear sets, 'upgraded' fairing and seat unit.
The bike is in very good usable condition.
I can forward a short recent video of the bike running.
