Classic motorbike greetings card featuring a Ducati 900SS Desmo and a Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica.
Two highly desirable Ducati motorcycles are shown in this painting. The Mike Hailwood Replica (background) or MHR as it is commonly known was released by Ducati after the victory of Mike Hailwood on a specially tuned Ducati during the 1978 Isle of Man TT. The 900cc motorcycle would be built until 1983 and in true racing style was not fitted with an electric starter!
The 900SS Desmo can be seen as the direct descendent to the MHR and was a development of the company's 750cc machines of a few years earlier. The Desmo reached the streets in 1975 and immediately gained favour with the public for its appearance and performance. The particular model seen stayed in production until the early 1980s when the toned-down Darmah became available.
A perfect greetings card for a classic motorcycle enthusiast.
