  1983 DUCATI 900 MIKE HAILWOOD REPLICA
  Frame No. 0759.88.130; Engine No. 907601 0M860 When Mike Hailwood, known as 'Mike the Bike', returned from New Zealand to the Isle of Man TT in 1978 on a privateer Ducati 900 SS, at 38 years old and eleven years after retiring from competitive riding. his runaway victory set the stage for the most popular version of the 900 SS, the MHR. This was one of the two most important races in the building of the Ducati V-twin legend, along with Paul Smart's win in the 1972 Imola 200. The red, white and green Mike Hailwood Replica 900 SS was introduced in 1979 and was an immediate success. Ducati updated the model several times to make it more user-friendly. The fairing became a two-piece in 1981, making service matters easier, and side panels were added to cover the battery and rear carburettor. In 1983, the Series 2 MHR included an electric start, an improved three-dog gearbox, Oscam wheels to take tubeless tyres, a narrower two-piece fairing, new alternator and a hydraulic dry clutch. Based on the 900 SS, the Hailwood Replica would remain in production through early 1986. This MHR Series 2 on offer here has been part of the museum's collection for over 10 years. According to the provenance file including receipts from Axle Motorcycle in 2009, it had a large amount of maintenance and cosmetic works undertaken. Fitted with gold Campagnolo alloy rims and Contis mufflers the eye-catching vibrant livery has made it a favourite of museum patrons. Displaying under 33,000 KM's on the odometer, here provides an opportunity to own one of the most popular Ducati models of its era. Sold with Ducati 900 Replica and 900 Ducati workshop manual with some pages lacking.
