1972, Imola — just those words straighten my spine. That race is where Ducati's L-twin became legend. That a bike from that lineage is going up for auction isn't a simple sale. A machine the era demanded is passing back into human hands, carrying its story forward to the next generation. Looking back through history, that's how legendary bikes survive.

For those of us just watching, it's going to end up at an amount we can't even imagine.

'Auction highlight' always sounds like an exaggeration, but this one actually looks like the real deal.

Two rare, low-production examples going up at once — that's not an opportunity you get often.

An Imola racer showing up would have old-bike collectors drooling.

A bike descended from a 1972 works machine carries a whole different level of historical value.
