Post Listing Update: This 860GT was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown.


Sold for just two years, the Ducati 860GT was a relatively angular bike that didn’t end up being as popular as Ducati might have hoped. It ended up evolving into the much-more loved Darmah. The 864cc twin yielded 60 horsepower, and it was capable of hitting 109 miles per hour. The GT was sold just in ’74 and ’75 – the following year it got a rounder fuel tank design, lower handlebars, a different seat, and a name change to the 860 GTS.

Starting with Taglioni’s frame design from the 750GT, this bike was formed by adding angular bodywork crafted by famous automotive designer Giorgio Giugiaro. For more on the 860GT, check out this story on Motorcycle Classics.

This example has 5,523, just 5 of which have been put on after the heads were rebuilt. It’s still rocking the original paint, which has appropriate amounts of wear after 43 years of age. Other notable features are aftermarket Conti replica exhaust pipes, Tomaselli grips and cables, K&N air filters, Magura handlebars, upgraded Brembo brakes, and more.
