A RARE motorcycle from the 1970s is set to go up for auction, with an estimated value of a staggering £28,000 - £32,000. The 1975 Ducati 750 Sport is going under the Charterhouse gavel during their specialist auction of classic and vintage motorcycles on Wednesday, June 30. This Ducati has lived a pampered life since 1975, having covered under 26,000 miles in 46 years. It was purchased by the Charterhouse client in 1978 and has been cherished by him ever since, and comes to auction with a dual seat, which was an optional extra in the time. Coming from a West Country collection of road motorcycles, the owner has struggled to ride the motorbike recently due to a neck injury.
On Wednesday, June 30, a range of motorbikes will be sold by Sherborne-based auction house, Charterhouse. George Beale, of Charterhouse, said: “The auction already has some fantastic motorcycles consigned dating from the early 20th century through to the early 21st century with bikes which are show ready, daily riders, racers or restoration projects. “With an assortment of Triumph, Norton, BSA, AJS, Honda, BMW, Kawasaki, Royal Enfield, Ariel, Suzuki, Greeves, Bultaco, Harley Davidson, New Imperial, Sunbeam and Velocette to name but a few manufacturers the auction will be over 100 motorbikes.” For the person looking for a classic ride there is a vast choice, with a 1974 Ducati 750 Sport standing out. With under 24,000 miles and purchased by the owner in 1978 it is estimated at £28,000-32,000.
