1970 Ducati 450 Scrambler worth?

Morning chaps

Looking at a 1970 Ducati 450 Scrambler, been fully restored and is beautiful, not a dim to spend on it other than fuel.

Any ideas?

Cheers Andi

As a chronic thrasher of old motorcycles... If you think you are going to even stand and look at a 1970 Ducati of any sort and 'not spend a dime' you are in for a bit of a fright.

Don't get ,e wrong a 450 is an object of great desire to many and worthy of your attention but....

Basically - its worth what people will pay for it. Not as much as a cliponed version 450 but its still worth $$. You will be competing with people who own new ones that want a classic to round out their owners club profile and that will pump up the price pdq so good luck....

At the time they were worth the same as a Triumph Trophy Trail.....and I'd still rather have the Triumph.
