In the mid-80s, the Borgo Panigale factory underwent further development thanks to the firm’s new owner. The 750 F1 was created with the intention of renewing the brand’s competitive spirit.
The first bike of this new era was very much built with performance in mind. The 750 F1 was a fully-fledged precursor to future supersport models.
It adopted a frame derived from the one used at that time on the TT1 and TT2 race bikes, which made it very compact, lightweight and agile. The result was a simple motorcycle that was extraordinarily enjoyable to ride.

With its stunning tricolour livery, the 750 F1 was a symbol of Italian motoring excellence. It was also the last Ducati to be designed by engineer Fabio Taglioni, more than thirty years after his arrival at the Borgo Panigale factory.
Taglioni retired on completing this project, leaving a patrimony of models that, just like the 750 F1, have left an indelible mark on the history of Ducati production.
