Hi Tom,

I visited your project page to have a look at your bike again, which I have always been fond of, but the images and past posts seem to have been removed.

Did you sell the bike?

Cheers,

Chris

I live in Perth and have a GTS tank that I'd be prepared to part with for the right coin. Why don't you PM me and exchange numbers. If you make me a reasonable offer, I'll let it go.

Cheers,

Chris

There is a notable difference between the frame geometry of the GT and Darmah (SD/SSD) frames. While it is possible to make the GT tank and side covers fit, it would just look wrong in my humble opinion. Either take it back to original 860 GT specs or consider an 860 GTS alternative. The frame would ...

Hi Chris.

This bike came from NSW, the G.F. is a friend of mine's. The sport is a nice bike but are you talking about the same bike?

I'll be in York at the new cafe there on Sunday but will likely be on a Benelli 750 Sei.

Sorry, as you are a Perth lad and, seeing the GF and Sport together, I ...

Hey Steve, Now I get it ... but what a bloody nice start!!!

Chris

I am thinking about purchasing an early 70's Ducati and have been doing some research online. I am looking at 1972-1975 750s and 860s. It seems like there is a negative connotation towards the 860 and they are not as sought after as the 750.

Any input or opinions on this?

They're not my ...

First up, Thanks for posting. That is one very nice special and shows some real individual taste and flair.

Second, hey Dana, having been a bevel enthusiast for over 20 years in the country that received a large proportion of all the bevel twins ever produced, and despite them being 30 odd years ...

Well, it sure is different but.... I really like it. A splash of white, perhaps on the side covers or the bottom half of the fairing just to set it off perhaps?

Thanks for posting. Keep the photos and the stories coming.

Chris

I just noticed your bike's posting on the forum, Phil. I have to say she looks magnificent. Congratulations and you must be glad to be back in the saddle.
Great photos too!

Chris

PS: Ask Hanners if he needs any Beroccas, would you? I've got plenty.

G'day 750 Sport,

I have to say firstly 'Congratulations!!!' You have bought a beautiful bike and I wish you many years of happy trails with her.

If it is the bike I think it is, i.e. belonged to AA - it is way better than any Sport anywhere else pretty much. You're a very lucky fella, if that's ...

Hi Empty,

Congratulations on your new bike. Very exciting time!

My only advice, for what it's worth, would be - ride it for a while, maybe a year before you do too much to it at all. Find out what you can about the bike and read everything you can on the marque. If you're not already a member ...

Hi James,

Definitely and interesting bike you've got there!

Do you have the front pot or are you needing to source one? They come up from time to time on eBay.

As much as I kind of like the colour scheme too, my only reservation would be that it's a fibreglass tank and pretty dangerous if you ...

Hi Per,

Another great looking bike on this forum. Good to see! Am I right in thinking that you have modified the seat to monoposto? Are there any pictures of it that you could post, please? Side profiles, rear profiles, that sort of thing.

If you can find the time, would you mind penning a bit ...

Congratulations Wassy,

That is truly a gorgeous bit of kit. Hardly looks like tis even done the low km's you state!

Do you know anything of the history of the bike? It would be great to read how you came to find it and where is has lived in the past.

It might be an idea to forward Steve your ...

I'd say that photo would have to take the prize for 'Coolest Photo On This Site' and, considering all the other cool photos here, that's a big rap.

Well done and great looking bike!

More pics any time you're ready.

Chris
