The Ducati 750 Super Sport: The Holy Grail of Ducati Collecting
The 1974 Ducati 750 Super Sport is one of the most iconic and desirable motorcycles ever produced – a true milestone in Ducati history and the ultimate collector’s Ducati. With just 401 examples built, this homologation special combined racing pedigree, rarity and groundbreaking engineering in a motorcycle that could reach 130 mph at a time when few production bikes could match its performance.
Known as the ‘Green Frame’, the 750 Super Sport was the direct descendant of Ducati’s historic victory at the 1972 Imola 200. Paul Smart and Bruno Spaggiari dominated that legendary Formula 750 race, proving that Ducati could take on – and beat – the world’s leading manufacturers. Imola transformed Ducati’s fortunes, and the 750 Super Sport brought that racing technology to the road.
Hand built under the direction of legendary engineer Fabio Taglioni, the 750 SS was the first production Ducati with a desmodromic twin, and featured bespoke components, a factory half fairing and triple disc brakes. Today, it is widely regarded as the most significant and collectible production Ducati ever made, with original examples commanding more than $200,000 at auction.
This exclusive limited edition is presented as a premium cloth-bound hardback in a protective slipcase, created for both the owners of these extraordinary motorcycles and the enthusiasts who regard the Green Frame as one of the great icons of motorcycling.
For owners, each copy can be uniquely associated with their individual motorcycle. They can request that their engine number and name are recorded on a bound-in personalised page, accompanied by an author’s signature validating the owner and machine.
For enthusiasts and collectors who do not own a 750 Super Sport, the same exclusive edition can be personalised with the purchaser’s name or a short dedication, creating a unique copy to treasure.
Whether documenting the provenance of an individual Green Frame or celebrating a lifelong passion for one of Ducati’s greatest motorcycles, this is more than a book about the 750 Super Sport: it is a highly personal collector’s edition dedicated to one of the most legendary motorcycles in history.
