Rebuilding the 1979 Ducati 900 Replica (Part 1) - Back to Classics

Rebuilding the 1979 Ducati 900 Replica (Part 1) - Back to Classics

In this episode of Back to Classics, we start with the final build of the 1979 900 Mike Hailwood Replica.

After Mike Hailwood’s spectacular victory at the 1978 Isle of Man Formula one race, Ducati commemorated this event with the introduction of a race replica. This bike was introduced in 1979 and only produced in a limited run of 300 (initially announced to be limited to 200!) and came with a certificate. Although Mike’s racing bike was based on a 900 NCR Formula 1, the street model was largely based on the 900 Super Sport of the same year with bodywork mimicking the sport Motorcycle racer.

Harné is going to take you through the early stages of the build starting with fitting the frame around the freshly rebuild engine. After that he will be restoring and installing parts like the rear shocks and electrical system. Gradually he will take you along the whole process, step by step. In future videos in this series we will get this bike on the road!

Thanks for watching this episode and see you soon at Back to Classics!
