Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine but 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 Smarts' win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a long tradition of race-winning V twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years.

The 749 shared many of its parts with the 999, with the exception of a slightly smaller 180/55 profile rear tire, smaller cylinders, and different cylinder heads giving it a displacement of 748cc but generally thought to be an easier bike to ride. This is the limited edition 'Dark' version finished in its distinctive matt black and has been part of a small private Ducati collection for the last few years. Presented in excellent condition and showing only 4,500 miles on the clock it has been in regular use by the vendor for club runs, recently MOT'd it comes supplied with a current V5C.
