2026 Ducati Formula 73

[Fatfatboy]

For 2026 Ducati is releasing the Formula 73 as part of the 100th anniversary happenings.
It's an air cooled 803cc based off the scrambler. Looks like it will be made in Thailand and pastaville from what I gather.

I like the half racing fairing and the full exposed L twin. The article states that they believe to be only 100 made. Bummer.
Not that it's a bike that will fit me but it would be nice to see one or two out on the road.

Well one would think it being a 100anniverary bike it would be built in Italy. And if true only 100 will be produced than this is buellshit. I am like FU Ducati.

I have to agree with you Hack. Usually their specialty bikes come from Italy. Maybe to avoid the tariffs of sending a whole bike over.

From the looks of the 73 it’s an all new bike except the drive train so I’m thinking they will be hand assembled. To tool up for only a few bikes doesn’t seem cost effective to me.

Either way it’s a bike I’d enjoy, for short distances. It looks a bit uncomfortable for an all day ride.
