Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons and by the 1960s had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years.

This 750SS, presented in standard and original condition, has been part of an enthusiast private collection for the last couple of years. Presented in standard trim and still fitted with its original ZDM-B10 exhaust system, it has not been run since July 2021 so will need recommissioning before use. The bike comes supplied with front and rear paddock stands, an owner’s manual, a service manual, lots of receipts and old MOTs, 2 keys and a current V5C.

• Authentically restored LE Velo ‘Noddy’ bike

• Water-cooled 2 stroke twin cylinder engine

• Supplied with a workshop manual and a V5C

The LE Velocette was manufactured by Veloce Ltd, a company more famous for its bigger performance bikes, from 1948 up to the late sixties. With its horizontally opposed water-cooled twin-cylinder engine and all enclosing bodywork, it was designed to answer criticism that motorcycles were noisy and dirty and to a large extent it was successful. At first offered with a 150cc engine, its initial performance was somewhat pedestrian so the motor was eventually increased to 200cc and it found favour with over 50 police forces around the UK. Police riders of the day were expected to nod to senior officers whilst riding past and the bike became known affectionally as the ‘Noddy’ bike to the general public.

This 1960 200cc model has been part of a private collection for a number of years and has been authentically restored keeping a good degree of originality. The bike has not been run for a few years, so will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a workshop manual and a current V5C.
