Quail Gathering Winner – 1999 Ducati Monster 750 Custom

In Custom, Italy by AbhiLeave a Comment

Starting with a Ducati Monster, Jimmy Kilroy built a custom that kept the frame intact but surrounded it in fascinating bodywork. The build was completed in 2012, and the next year it won the “La Piu Bella” (the most beautiful) award at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering.

The M750’s V-Twin engine put out 64 horsepower, which was good enough for the stock bike to get up to 120 miles per hour. It’s a fair assumption that this bike (VIN: zdm1rc3l9xb006223) has a bit more weight to carry around.

The bike has over 4,000 miles nad it’s claimed to run and ride beautifully. Ignoring the bodywork, the only other modification seems to be front forks that allow for dual disc brakes up front. Find this dustbin Ducati for sale here on Craigslist in Oakland, California for $12,000.
