Description: Selling a matched pair of 1953 Ducati 98s, both brought over from Italy. These are true early ‘50s lightweights, the bikes that helped establish Ducati’s post‑war reputation and they’re getting harder to find in any condition, let alone as a pair.
They need full restoration. Both bikes are largely complete, but expect a full teardown. Engines are in unknown condition, I have not tried to turn them over, and I don’t know when they last ran. Frames, tanks, wheels, and major components are present. Sold “as‑is”, with no guarantees or warranties. Condition is exactly as shown and described. Buyer is responsible for inspection before purchase.
Perfect candidates for:
• full factory-style restoration
• period-correct restomod
• or as a parts cache for another 98/100/125 project
Why these are worth grabbing:
• Complete bikes from Italy, not pieced together from random parts
• Matching pair makes sourcing, swapping, and restoring dramatically easier
• Excellent base for a vintage café, scrambler, or concours-correct rebuild
• Ducati 98 parts are becoming scarce; having two nearly complete bikes is a huge advantage
• Lightweight, simple engines and frames
- ideal for a first restoration or a winter project
• Clean, classic 1950s Ducati lines that look incredible once restored
Price: €1000 for the pair. Not selling separately.
If you’re looking for a rare vintage Ducati project, a donor set for a restomod, or a parts goldmine for your existing 98/100/125 build, this is a solid opportunity.
These early‑1950s Ducati 98s are becoming increasingly rare, especially as nearly complete pairs from Italy. Single non‑running projects usually range from €300 to €800 depending on their completeness, and both of these bikes are nearly complete. Having two bikes together makes restoration, parts swapping, or restomodding much easier. Ducati 98 parts are scarce, and the 1953 model year is highly desirable. Collectors are aware of how valuable a matched set can be, and the prices reflect their rarity and completeness.
