The Ducati Formula 73 is a limited edition motorcycle that celebrates one of the most iconic motorcycles in the Italian manufacturer's storied history. Limited to just 873 units worldwide, the café racer celebrates the legendary 750 Super Sport Desmo from 1973 – the bike that kickstarted Ducati's dominance in production-derived racing.

The Formula 73 wears a silver and aqua green livery, complete with a gold stripe on the tank that references the original 750 Imola Desmo, and the clip-on handlebars, bar-end mirrors, and headlight cowl give it a proper café racer silhouette.

Under the classic bodywork sits the 803cc Desmodue engine that powers multiple Scrambler models with peak output figures of 73hp and 65.2Nm of torque. Ducati has also equipped the bike with a Termignoni exhaust with details specifically designed for this model.

Each bike comes with a certificate of authenticity and a special box containing period images and sketches.
