1985 Ducati Mille Mike Hailwood Replica “Out of respect for a daredevil”

Description
This Ducati was built as a tribute to Mike Hailwood and his legendary comeback victory at the Isle of Man TT in 1978. A victory that is still widely regarded as one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of motorsport.
But this Mille MHR tells a second story as well. In 1985 and 1986, Ducati brought to an end something that had defined the brand for decades: the famous bevel-drive engine. This Mille belongs to the final generation of that engineering concept and therefore represents the closing chapter of a truly significant era in Ducati's history.
This particular example is presented in exceptionally beautiful condition and has always been maintained by a Ducati specialist. In addition, this Ducati comes from the collection of an internationally renowned TI-Raleigh professional cyclist. A true enthusiast of speed on two wheels, both with and without an engine, it would seem.
The Mille version introduced several important technical improvements and ultimately became the definitive evolution of Ducati's legendary bevel-drive twin. Today, these motorcycles are regarded as highly desirable collector's items. Not only because of their engineering, but above all because of their significance within Ducati's heritage.
This Ducati is fully prepared for its next custodian. For someone who understands that certain motorcycles are far more than mere means of transportation. This is a genuine collector's piece, wrapped in one of the most beautiful designs the marque has ever produced.
You are warmly invited to view this exceptional Ducati in person. Do you live abroad? No problem at all; we sell worldwide and can naturally assist with export arrangements.
