AUCTION CLOSING SUNDAY
1978 DUCATI 900 NCR TT1 LIVE AUCTION
A rare chance to own a true piece of Italian racing history — with the auction ending tomorrow, 03/14. Opportunities like this seldom appear, especially when the motorcycle in question is one of the most iconic racing Ducatis ever built.
This remarkable 1978 Ducati 900 NCR TT1 represents the golden era of endurance and TT racing, when lightweight engineering, raw power, and fearless riders defined the sport. Built by the legendary racing specialist NCR in collaboration with Ducati, the 900 NCR machines were purpose-built competition motorcycles designed to dominate on the track.
Even more extraordinary is its rarity. Only three Ducati 900 NCRs were exported to the United States in 1978, making this motorcycle an exceptionally scarce example of a highly sought-after racing platform. Machines like this rarely surface on the market, particularly with such historic significance and pedigree.

1974 DUCATI 750SS LIVE AUCTION
A stunning and highly collectible 1974 Ducati 750SS is now available at auction — a remarkably complete example accompanied by an exceptionally well-documented ownership history. From its original delivery to the memorable moment when the second owner first unboxed the motorcycle, every known owner has been carefully recorded, providing the kind of provenance that serious collectors value immensely.
Few motorcycles capture the spirit of classic Italian performance quite like the legendary 750 Super Sport. Built during a pivotal moment in the history of Ducati, the 750SS was developed in the wake of the brand’s stunning victory at the 1972 Imola 200, where Paul Smart rode the factory Ducati to a historic win. That triumph cemented Ducati’s reputation for building powerful V-twin sport motorcycles and directly inspired the creation of the production 750 Super Sport.
What makes this particular example especially compelling is its completeness and documented lineage. Motorcycles from this era often passed through multiple hands with limited records, but this 750SS benefits from a known chain of ownership dating back to its original delivery. The documentation surrounding the second owner’s unboxing adds an unusual and charming detail that highlights the excitement these machines generated when new.
Today, the Ducati 750SS stands among the most coveted classic Italian sport motorcycles. Examples with strong provenance and completeness are increasingly difficult to find, making opportunities like this especially noteworthy. For collectors seeking an authentic and historically significant Ducati, this 1974 750SS represents not only a beautiful motorcycle but also a preserved piece of the brand’s legendary racing heritage.

2009 Bimota DB7 LIVE AUCTION
Rare, lightweight, and undeniably stunning, this 2009 Bimota DB7 is a true piece of Italian superbike artistry. Costing a staggering $40,000 when new, the DB7 represents the kind of hand-built exclusivity that made Bimota legendary among collectors and enthusiasts.
The name Bimota conjures up all things exotic on two wheels. Founded in Rimini, Italy, the boutique manufacturer built its reputation crafting ultra-premium chassis wrapped around the best engines of the era, producing motorcycles that were as much engineering sculptures as they were performance machines. The DB7 is a perfect example of that philosophy.
Powered by the thrilling L-twin engine derived from the iconic Ducati 1098, the DB7 delivers explosive torque and razor-sharp throttle response. Bimota paired this proven Italian powerplant with an incredibly lightweight chassis, featuring extensive use of carbon fiber bodywork and a beautifully machined aluminum frame. The result is a superbike that weighs significantly less than many of its contemporaries while delivering breathtaking performance and handling precision.
Visually, the DB7 is unmistakable. Sculpted carbon fiber fairings, minimalist tail section, and immaculate detailing showcase Bimota’s obsession with craftsmanship. Premium components such as fully adjustable suspension, high-spec brakes, and race-inspired ergonomics reinforce the bike’s track-focused pedigree while maintaining the exclusivity expected from a hand-built Italian machine.
Produced in very limited numbers, the Bimota DB7 remains one of the brand’s most sought-after modern models. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it represents a rare opportunity to own a motorcycle that blends superbike performance with boutique-level craftsmanship.
Whether displayed as a centerpiece in a collection or experienced the way it was intended on the open road, the 2009 Bimota DB7 stands as a breathtaking reminder that some motorcycles are built not just to ride—but to be admired.
