1985 Ducati 750 F1 Endurance Replica
During the F1's two year production approximately 1,500
were made. Known for its streamline design and handling,
the 368 pound F1 has cult status as the last of the hand
made and Taglioni designed Ducati's.
Lou Saif is internationally know for the restoration of TT2
and TT1 factory race bikes. Based in New York City I have
had the pleasure of getting to know Lou and watch him
restore some of the most famous race bikes of the era.
When the opportunity to purchase Lou's personal 750F1 I
jumped at it. Lou owned this bike for almost 20 years and
developed it as a replica of Marco Lucchinelli's factory
work's bike.
Lou's intention to make his bike a street racer and as light
and reliable as possible. The motor is mostly original
except for cams, supermono light weight gears and a
titanium (very loud and open) exhaust. The wheels are
17" x 4.5"/6" magnesium and brakes quick release
endurance. The tail was shortened and lights replicate the
work's bikes. The front fairing is that of racer and the
head lights are quick release like those used for night
racing. Titanium hardware was used and weight was
removed from any place imaginable bringing the bike to a
weight of only 305 pounds.
