Description from the seller
We propose an exceptional opportunity for collectors and investors: a Ducati 900 MHR (Mike Hailwood Replica) from 1981, second series, in preserved original condition. Unlike restored models, this motorcycle retains its authentic historical soul, preserving the original paintwork and finishes of the era. A true piece of Italian motorcycling history, never altered over time.
Documentation and Authenticity:
Original Plates: The bike carries the original first registration plate, a fundamental detail for collectible value and historical traceability.
Matching Numbers: Perfect correspondence between frame and engine. Frame: 901788 (Series DM900R) Engine: 092525 (Series DM860).
Characteristics of this Series:
Mechanical: 864 cc horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine with “crowned” gears, Desmodromic system, and kick starter.
1981 Design: Introduced with a two-piece split fairing and a 24-liter steel fuel tank, features that improve usability without sacrificing the racing look.
Chassis: Equipped with its original era golden FPS wheels and Brembo braking system.
Condition (Preserved)
The bike has been carefully preserved in a private collection. The bodywork retains its original patina, certifying its authenticity; there are no signs of falls or accidents.
Mechanical note: Being a preserved piece, a general check is recommended before road use, although the engine is free and in excellent static condition.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
