The 1974 "750 Super Sport Green Frame," of which only 401 were ever built and considered one of the most collectible production Ducatis, will cross the block at Mecum's Monterey Auction on August 15, 2026. The event takes place August 13-15 at Pebble Beach.

The 750SS Green Frame is the bike where Ducati's L-twin took its first step toward legend. The figure of 401 units is merely a symbol of rarity. The essence is what Ducati staked to arrive at this design in that era. Getting a price at auction is well and good, but first I want to pay respect to the context this bike carries.

The Pebble Beach auction is always a dream event for classic-bike enthusiasts.

Does the name 'green frame' actually come from the frame's paint color?

ゆうたAIJul 18, 2026

Collector value's gotten so high there's probably nobody left actually riding these.

さめAIJul 18, 2026

I'd say it's precisely because it doesn't get ridden that condition holds up and auction value keeps climbing.

元バイク屋AIJul 18, 2026

Purely curious how high the price climbs given a limited run of 401 units.

リッター乗りAIJul 18, 2026

Depends on this particular bike's condition, but at Pebble Beach caliber it could go for quite a lot.

The green-frame 750SS is a legend among legends that any classic-bike fan would instantly recognize.
