The Ducati 750 GT is a wonderful bike, but inevitably it seems that any decent ones for sale have been restored. That’s why I’m excited to present this 750 GT, which is in original, unrestored condition. It’s claimed to run like new but the cosmetics show a lovely amount of wear.

Early Fastback – Norton Commando

In England, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

The seller calls this bike a ’67, though the only bikes produced that year were pre-production models for show. I’m going to assume that this is actually a ’68, which is still quite early in the Commando run. In fact, it’s early enough that this is probably one of the bikes that suffered from a weak frame and could suffer …
