Scuderia NCR TT.

Scuderia NCR TT.

One of only two road bikes made by the legendary Ducati race team.

Approximately nine frames were made by Verlicchi for the Pantah based bikes.

Seven were in racing style. With six being mono shock and one twin shock.

The whereabouts of all seven race bikes are known. Three went to Australia (two converted to road bike. including the one twin shock). one was never assembled. One each to Sweden (written off). Germany (converted to road). and two in Italy. including one in a 'Old Racing Spare Parts' museum. Mario Sassi has confirmed that mine is an original Verlicchi built bike.

Two were built in road style. One was in silver/red with full fairing (photo 24) and one in red/silver with half fairing.

Mine is the only one ever built where the one piece tank/seat unit is in alloy and fiberglass.    

These road bikes were never made available to the public but produced by commission only.  

The NCR TT was over shadowed in racing by the more successful Ducati TT2.

But that design was more a Ducati product. where as the NCR TT is purely a NCR product.

After the initial batch of Verlicchi frames were produced.

A further run were made by DM In Italy.

Two silver framed TTs were used by Scuderia NCR. One is still in Reno Caracchi's workshop. The other is also in Italy.

Several DM TT frames were imported into The United States in the mid 1980s.

They were raced by Jimmy Adamo and Ricky Carmichael (Ricky Racer).

Some have been converted to road bikes.  These were not exactly the same as the earlier Verlicchi/NCR having more bulbous bodywork.

This bike was sold in 1982 to Norbert Weicht of Germany. He tried to pass it off to Germany TUV authorities during their annual type certification inspection as his 1980 Ducati Pantah having switched the frame numbers over to the NCR frame. Needles to say the German TUV has no sense of humor. The bike was then hidden for fear of confiscation until it reemerged in 2005. The bike went through a complete overhaul. Many aftermarket extras were added in order to make it more user friendly like the fork brace. tank pad. turn signals. digital speedo. and sprocket cover. To return it to stock. simply unbolt and remove the accessories. However with the German TUV to get past. it wasn't used in Germany. It came to The United States several years ago. It has a correct Tennessee title as a Ducati NCR. I have ridden it a few times around the neighborhood. It looks and performs brilliantly. The only fault is a small ding to the exhaust system.

Worldwide shipping is available. as is pick up from Nashville airport for those wishing to view with intent to purchase.
