Join Jim Scaysbrook as he gets aboard the Moreparts NCR Ducati that he rode at the 1978 Isle of Man TT and does a lap with the GP Legends at the 2018 International Festival of Speed at Sydney Motor Sport Park. Even though the bike’s owner Murray Kahler was unable to attend, he made sure the NCR was well fettled throughout the weekend, and it looked and sounded brilliant. Mindful of a wet track and far-from-new tyres, Jim took it pretty easy but that unmistakable sound of the big Duke brought the memories flooding back. The bike was 40 years old at that point, so one must respect age!

Just love the sound of the Big Duke air cooled engine..Owned a 900 SS in the late seventies, fitted with standard Conti pipes. They sounded great but this is unleashing the beast....

There were exactly 3 brought into the USA by Berliner Motor Corp. My Dad, owner of The Sport Spot in Wayne, NJ got one of them for his punk kid.........me. Fast as hell for a 4 stroke back then, but I had to race against TZ750's. Not much chance of beating those, but being young and with some talent, I sure tried. Tried too hard at Bridgehampton and threw it away in the last right hander before the VERY long straight. Header grounded out and lifted both tires off the deck. Didn't end well for the poor NCR. Wound up getting what was left of it bought by, IIRC, one John White. Bike sounded AWESOME!!!!! Handled frigging great too. Even had a guy make me a set of Carbon Fibre rotors! 1979! Didn't work out great as the fibre weave wasn't right for being shaved that thin and they had a terrible pulsing issue that coundn't be resolved back then. The power of them was pretty unreal though!

Fantastic machine. You can see why Ducati refer to these engines as L-twins, rather than V-twin. It really is a right-angle.
