Get ready for a thrilling ride into the past! Ducati is set to unveil a special edition masterpiece, the Formula '73, in 2026, as part of its centennial celebrations. This isn't just any ordinary bike; it's a tribute to the iconic 750 Supersport Desmo that took the racing world by storm in 1973. But here's the twist: it's based on the Ducati Scrambler, yet it might not look like one! The California Air Resources Board has revealed the Formula '73 in an executive order, listing it alongside the Scrambler lineup. What's intriguing is that the name 'Scrambler' isn't included, hinting at a unique design departure from the Scrambler's classic look. Imagine a bike that pays homage to the 750SS Desmo with a partial fairing, reminiscent of the racing legends of the 1970s. But why the name 'Formula'? Well, it all ties back to the 1973 Imola 200, where Paul Smart and Bruno Spaggiari dominated on the very first Ducati V-Twin with desmodromic valves. The 750 SS Desmo was a game-changer, and now, Ducati is bringing that legacy back in a limited edition form. With a potential production run of just 100 units, this bike is destined to be a collector's dream. Stay tuned for the official announcement in early 2026, and get ready to be a part of Ducati's historic journey!
