loudbike TT1

Ducati TT1 Replica (1985) - Red

Over the years I've found that the only TT1 frame that works with 17” slicks is the final series Verlicchi large diameter, thin wall. My friend Fran has a couple as does Bruce Meyers and Fran's is the only bike I ever won a race on. Back in the day, Reno Leoni had his brother-in-law (DM Frames) make a copy and they have modified the jig to allow for the use of a big block motor.

The specs are:

  • DM TT1 Frame

  • Mavic mag 3-spokes with floating 280mm Brembos and P3034 calipers with authentic Brembo racing adapters

  • Brembo 996 series pumps

  • Marzocchi M1R forks substantially modified by Lindeman engineering back in the day (they work like no M1R I've ever experienced)

  • Authentic 195mm triple clamps

  • TZ replica throttle

  • Scitsu tacho

  • 851 clip-ons (Verlicchi)

  • NCR electrics plate

  • Bosch ignition with Dyna 3 ohm coils

  • Custom-built Stadium shock

  • F1 aluminum swing arm with custom, integrated breather box

  • Leoncinni floating rear brake caliper mount

  • Leoncinni rear sets

  • Authentic TT1 Brembo rear master

  • ORS endurance tank and TT1 seat

  • loudbike open NCR replica exhaust

  • loudbike 85db Weber exhaust

  • 750 Sport-based bottom end built by Gary Palmer

o 800SS rods

o Lightened clutch basket, clutch housing, primaries, flywheel

o JPrecision heads with NCR #7 cams

o Mofified F1 pistons (12.5:1 compression)

o Spider clutch cover (one of 6 made)

o Mikuni TM Pro-series flat slides

o Mikuni vacuum fuel pump

o Modified ORS cam covers

o Magnesium rocker covers

o Dyno-tuned to 88hp, 56ftlbs torque

The whole thing is held together with over $900 in titanium and aluminum fasteners.

The bike is a highly-developed example of an old-school TT1 - works brilliantly on the track and handles better than any F1 with a stock frame. Push the starter button and go fast. It even idles.

Awesome. When she gets up to full revs on the dyno, it makes the heart beat a little faster.
