For one year only, Ducati decided to create a 450 motocrosser after their American importer convinced them it was a market worth exploring. “R/T” stood for Road/Trail, which might explain why the bike was heavier than the MX competition at 300 pounds. It did not sell well, meaning these are hard to find nowadays.
The motor was good for 38 horsepower, and the only paint option was bright yellow. For a lot more information on this rare Ducati, check out this comprehensive write-up from PulpMX.
This example is unfortunately missing the desmodromic head but the seller believes it is otherwise original except for the number plates and the Supertrapp muffler. The seller has had the bike for a few years but he does not seem to ride it much any more. The bike does not have a title.
