Overview[edit | edit source]
Ducati 125 Regolarita
There was a point in Ducatis
history when everything wasnt so hunky-dory for the Italian automaker. Back in
the 70s, Ducati was in the middle of one of the worst stretches in its history,
having failed to catch on to the 250-, 350-, and 450-cc markets.
Nevertheless, Ducati soldiered on,
and from 1975-1977, they were able to build a bike - the 125 Regolarita Six Days
- that ended up being one of the rarest Ducati models in history.
The scarcity of this bike doesnt
have anything to do with the modest power train - a 124 cc two-stroke single
engine thats mated to a six-speed transmission - nor does it have anything to
do with the relatively heavy frame either (it weighs 238 lbs!).
People are going crazy for this
model today because the bike was cancelled relatively early in its production
cycle, making it one of the most difficult bikes to get a hold of.
The bike had an expected auction
price of 3,500 - 4,500, which is around $4,500 - $5,800 based on current
exchange rates, when it went up for auction at the 2012 RM Auctions in Monaco.
Actual selling price was $8,333.
