Ducati 750 F1Santamonica (1988)

The Ducati 750 F1Santamonica is a limited-edition masterpiece born from the racing legacy of the iconic Fl. Its four-stroke, twin-cylinder engine boasts desmodromic valve actuation and a rich history, having claimed victory at Misano’s Autodromo Santamonica in 1986.

In its final iteration, the Santamonica combines the Laguna Seca’s identical engine with chassis components that echo its predecessors. Marvic/Akront wheels and fully floating cast-iron brake calipers return from the Montjuich, paired with high-performance P4 front brake calipers and braided steel lines.

As a relic of Ducati’s past under Cagiva’s new regime, the Santamonica’s desirability is undiminished. With only limited production, this model stands as one of the most sought-after classic production Ducatis of its era, an unwavering testament to the marque’s illustrious history.
