Tom Gilroy of Purpose Built Moto on Australia's Gold Coast has built a road-legal tribute to the 1983 Ducati 750 TT1 endurance racer. The Ducati 900SS L-twin runs 12:1 compression, race cams, a lightened crank and a dry clutch, fed by twin 41mm Keihin FCR carburettors, inside a reproduction chromoly trellis frame. It weighs 174 kg wet.

What made me sit up is that they took it all the way to road registration. Twelve-to-one compression, a dry clutch, twin 41mm FCRs — list the numbers and that's a track-only build. And they put it on the street at 174 kg. Go and see one: paperwork on bikes like this takes longer than the build.

The quick-detach rear end — is that for track days?

One-offs like this — I'm scared to ask what it cost.

12:1 compression and twin 41mm FCRs. Town riding would be miserable.

A dry clutch on the road? Get stuck in traffic and it's hell.

174 kg with that spec, and road registered. Remarkable.

The 1983 TT1's shape still holds up. That's the achievement.
