The Ducati 750 F1 was a v2, four-stroke standard produced by Ducati between 1985 and 1988. It could reach a top speed of 128 mph (206 km/h). Claimed horsepower was 68.53 HP (51.1 KW) @ 8000 RPM.
Intro[edit | edit source]
The F1 was only ever imported to the US for off-road use and only a few hundred of the couple thousand made ever made it here. While many were in fact raced, some were registered by their owners for street use. All were European spec with speedometers in km/h. Regulators were often replaced with Ducati 916 unit (the original regulators on F1s were problematic). The F1 had a piece of heat resistant material glued to the inside of the fairing where it passes close to the exhaust pipe. This material tends to come loose and be lost and as a result most F1s either have no lower fairing fitted or have heat damage to the fairing.
Engine[edit | edit source]
The engine was a air cooled v2, four-stroke. A 88.0mm bore x 61.5mm stroke result in a displacement of just 748.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a desmodromic valve control.
Drive[edit | edit source]
The bike has a 5-speed transmission.
Chassis[edit | edit source]
It came with a 120/80-16 front tire and a 130/80-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The 750 F1 was fitted with a 4.76 Gallon (18.00 Liters) fuel tank.
