1984 Ducati750 TT1 factory road racing motorcycleUnimpeachable provenance and beautiful patina One of three ex-works 1984-season European endurance race bikes,then bought from the factory direct by American enthusiast Dale Newton for AMABoTT racing in the USAFrame no. (on steering head), engine no. DM600L*702481*Sold on Bill of Sale. Five miles approx. since restoration.This well documented TT1 is the rarest of the rare. Three chassiswere taken from the production run of 50 600 TT2s and built as endurance racersfor the 1984 European championship. Essentially two of the three this is oneof the two were almost identical to Tony Rutter’s factory team TT1. Based on the belt-drive,desmo Pantah, the TT1 had 88mm bore and 61.5mm stroke for capacity of748cc, with factory quoted 80 horsepower. At under 300 pounds dry, they werebuilt with Italy’s finest contemporary components such as Marzocchi magnesiumforks, wider aluminum (extrusion) cantilever swing arm (with strengthening rubrunning along the bottom) – one of only two bikes known to have this feature andBrembo brakes all round. The compact TT1 was both ground breaking fast andexquisitely handsome. It features unique lower mounting point for the enginevapor catch tank on the right side. As new bike it attended the Imola test day.The engine has the “Ascension” kit installed that upgraded the TT2 motor tofull race 750. The bike retains its endurance racing quick-release rear wheelkit.American Ducatisti patron Dale Newton (he owned the PhilSchilling/Cook Neilson “California HotRod” Daytona superbike, too) bought thebike from the factory at the ’84 season’s end (still with its headlamp socketsetc. intact; Dale removed the lights as the AMA rules did not require them) andproceeded to run the bike in the USA and was the last bike he restoredbefore his untimely death. Dale’s goal was to beat east coaster Jimmy Adamo inBoTT.Brian Dietz purchased the bike from the Newton estate in September1999 selling it on to Ralf Stechow in November 2008. It was acquired by the (private)seller shortly thereafter.The Newton Ducatis were raced by legendary riders such as TonyRutter, Kevin Schwantz and John Williams and were featured in Cycle magazine on several occasions.Next is listing of the articles; January 1984 “Messenger in Red: Ducati TT2600”; October 1984 “Ducati Pantah TT1”; April 1985 “Aboard Sunday’s Child:Ducati 750 TT1”; April 1985 “Desmo-Ships on Time Belt: Ducati 750SS and TT1750 F1”. "Dale Newton's ex-factory TT-F1 (this bike) isrepresentative of Ducati 750 potential, and on the Axtell dyno it generated83-86 horsepower." Kevin Cameron, February 1990.This bike has also been featured in two of Ian Falloon’sbooks. “… the diminutive TT2 and TT1 were among the finest of all catalogDucatis…they epitomized Taglioni’s philosophy of maximum performance throughlight weight and simplicity.”- StandardCatalog of Ducati Motorcycles, and DucatiRacers. And in Alan Cathcart’s Ducati, the Untold Story.
