Built in an era when Ducati motorcycle production was in steep decline, the 1985 Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica “Mille” became the last bevel-drive twins to be produced by Ducati. Following Mike Hailwood’s triumphant comeback win at the 1978 Isle of Man TT, Ducati created the 900 MHR (Mike Hailwood Replica) originally for homologation purposes. Only 200 units were built in 1979, but demand was such that Ducati continued production through 1986. In the end approximately 7,100 units had been built, making this Ducati’s best-selling bevel-drive twin to date.
