1972 at Imola - without that one win, Ducati's story might have taken a different shape. One of only 8 units surfacing means the very origin point of the brand is moving. It's not about what price it fetches. This is a witness to history.

What kind of race is the Imola 200 Miles?

The legendary 1972 race. Winning this is what suddenly made Ducati's name known around the world.

Wonder how many hundred million yen this will go for, a world beyond imagination.

The 750 longitudinal L-twin, this is really the origin of today's Ducati.

So it's in the lineage of the bike Paul Smart won the '72 Imola 200 on, nothing but romance.

One of only 8 units built... this is basically priceless at this point.

Winning the auction just to have it go to a museum and never get ridden feels like a waste.
