Ducati 750 F1

After having owned quite a few Jap bikes and BMWs up to the mid '80s, I hankered after something Italian for a change, maybe an MV or a Ducati. I'd sort of steered clear of these beauties, mainly because they were quite pricey and I'd read reports of electrical problems and pricey servicing. The bike that I rather fancied was the Ducati Hailwood replica Mille. Looked at one in David Robinson's Ducati shop in Wandsworth (his shop's still there), but thought it was a bit big, and the long wheelbase meant it probably wasn't exactly nimble. And it was pricey. But the Duke bug had bitten. Then I thought the 750 F1 would be a bit more practical, and I loved the look of the bike with its racy styling and Italian flag colours. Bought one, second hand naturally. Had it for about a year then sold it. Missed it so bought another, second hand again. Never had a problem with either of them. Both dual seaters so Geo could ride shotgun. Not the most comfy bike though, according to her.
