Features

750 Super Sport Legacy

Ducati Formula 73 takes the spirit of the legendary 1973 750 Super Sport Desmo and reimagines it in a modern way. The silver livery evokes the original essence, with the gold band on the tank inspired by the 750 Imola Desmo where the fuel level could be checked on the fiberglass tank during the race. The semi-handlebar with bar-end mirrors, front fairing and short, tapered tail complete a silhouette that captures the Café Racer soul. And the steel trellis frame reinforces the connection between the Formula 73 and the Super Sport Desmo that inspires it.

Numbered steering plate

As with every limited-edition Ducati, the steering plate bears the model name and serial number. Each bike comes complete with a certificate of authenticity, a collection of duplicate images from the era and sketches created by the Centro Stile Ducati, presented in a box.

Termignoni Ducati Performance homologated exhaust with custom finishes

The silencer is produced in collaboration with Termignoni, with aesthetic details specifically designed for this model that give the bike a deep, resonant sound.

Rizoma billet components

Formula 73 adopts various Rizoma billet aluminium components, including the brake and clutch levers with oil radiators, footpegs and fuel cap, supplied as standard. Well-finished details that add to the overall aesthetic.

17"/17" spoked wheels with Diablo Rosso IV tyres

Formula 73 mounts 17"/17" spoked wheels and Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres, ensuring manageability while showcasing dynamic traits that are pure Café Racer.

803 cc Desmodue engine with dedicated silver cover

The Ducati Formula 73 engine is modern but faithful to the technical principles on which Ducati has cemented its legend since the 1970s. An 803 cc Desmodue L-twin with two-valve desmodromic timing, it is Euro 5+ approved and delivers 73 horsepower at 8250 rpm. The engine is enhanced with a silver-coloured cover complete with classic Ducati logo to strengthen the reference to the 750 Super Sport Desmo.

Electronics: ABS as standard, traction control, quick shift as standard

Electronic systems on the Formula 73 include DTC traction control, Cornering ABS, Ducati Quick Shift and two Riding Modes.
