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 Smart’s 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 and National Championship racing over the years.

This 749R was prepared by the JHP/Lloyds British race team to compete in the 2006 British Supersport Championship, with Stuart Easton and then later in the season by Sean Emmett. Stuart won first time out at Brands Hatch and was in third place in the championship when he took up the offer to move over to the World Supersport Championship riding for NCR Ducati. Sean Emmett then took over the ride and won the Croft round of the championship on his first ride for the team. Built by JHP to be able to win in that year’s very competitive championship and up against riders such as Cal Crutchlow and Tom Sykes, they were the only Ducati team to win a race that season. The bike has been maintained by John Hackett Performance throughout its life and was recommissioned by them last year for the vendor, a former sponsor of top-level riders. The bike comes supplied with a paddock stand and many spares including wheels, fairing and a 749R fuel tank as well as a comprehensive results file from the 2006 season.
