Formula 73 is a contemporary urban café racer that reinterprets the rebellious spirit of the 70s with its sleek lines and big personality. Produced as a series of 873 numbered units, this collector’s model is designed to preserve a timeless legacy in the modern era.
The Formula 73 is inspired by the 750 Super Sport Desmo, which has its roots in the 750 Imola Desmo, winner of the 1972 Imola 200. That same spirit is now reinterpreted in a limited edition of 873 units.
Formula 73 combines style, character and riding pleasure. A faithful interpretation of the Café Racer spirit, complete with semi-handlebar with bar-end mirrors, front fairing and tapered tail, a single seat, steel trellis frame and 17-inch spoked wheels. Formula 73 offers more than a motorcycling experience – it’s a full sensory journey.
Quality components
Formula 73 adopts Rizoma billet aluminium elements that include the brake and clutch levers with oil radiators, footpegs and fuel cap. Solutions that capture the eye and elevate the essence of the bike. And to ensure every bike is unique, the steering plate bears the model name and serial number.
803 cc Desmodue engine
Tradition that evolves with the 803 cc Desmodue engine, the true star of the Formula 73. An L-twin with two-valve desmodromic timing that is modern but faithful to the technical principles on which Ducati has cemented its legend. An engine designed to offer a manageable response and smooth riding, for a presence on the road that’s impossible to ignore.
