Post Listing Update: This NCR did not meet reserve at $74,600.

6-21-17 Update: Apparently, that sale fell through as the bike was relisted again in November 2016 for $110,000 with no takers. Half a year later, Tim Huber has noted that this bike is back up for sale, though it’s now in an auction format instead of a Buy-It-Now. Let’s see what the market thinks it’s worth…find it with bidding up to $60,000 and the reserve not yet met

Post Sale Update: After being relisted, this NCR sold for $110,100!

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Mike Hailwood’s victory at the Isle of Man TT, NCR produced a replica of his race winning NCR Ducati 900SS based on the current Ducati Sport 1000. Mike’s number was 12, which is why 12 replicas were built…at a cost of 100,000 Euros (about $136,000 at the time). The seller calls his example a 1 of 1 because he had apparently had NCR build a one off swingarm and bike stand, both out of titanium. Either way, it’s rare, expensive, and collectible, but is it worth the seller’s asking price of $125,000? Read on, and you tell me…

The fairing makes the bike seem visually bulky, but in street legal form this bike weighs just 300 pounds. The titanium frame weighs 11 pounds, and other weight savings come from a Zard titanium exhaust system, and carbon fiber bodywork/wheels, the latter of which was made by BST. The motor has been worked by NCR so that it now displaces 1,120cc and puts out 130 horsepower – compare that to 91 from the stock engine. As you’d expect from a bike with a six figure MSRP, there’s high-spec components all over the place: APTC-NCR slipper clutch, MotoGP-spec Ohlins FGR900 fork, Ohlins shocks, and Brembo brakes. Plus it’s got the endorsement of Hailwood’s family and the Isle of Man, whatever that’s worth. For more information on this exotic build, check out this First Look from Cycle World.
