The 2007 Ducati Superbike Concorso Winner

Loius Saif has a beautiful Original Vintage Ducati motorcycle restored to perfection, but maybe RoadCarvin Karma helped a bit. Friday traffic was bad on 101 and I missed getting my credentials in Seaside by about 20 minutes. I was told by the Embassy Suites staff that I might be able to check in at the track. I was unable to get my credentials, however I checked out the vendor layout and happened to see Lou Saif working on his beautiful 1983 Ducati TT1. He told me that the wrong size O-rings where in the clutch cover and he wanted to make sure the bike was up to spec when it made its Parade Lap as part of the Final Ducati Superbike Concorso Competition. I got some pictures of them testing the bike in the parking area between Ducati Island and turn 2-3. I must say the bike sounds and runs great. On Saturday, I was able to talk to Louis Saif about his wonderful 1983 Ducati TT1 and he gave me some more details about the bike:

  • Very Rare Ducati/N.C.R race bike 1 of 25
  • 98% Original/Restored motorcycle
  • N.C.R. Clutch
  • Polished and lightened close ratio gears and engine internals
  • 41mm Malossi carbs
  • Big valve and port Pantah heads
  • N.C.R. dry clutch
  • Oil Cooler
  • 38mm Marzocchi forks
  • Quick release Marvic Wheel

Congratulations to Louis Saif - winner of the 2007 Ducati Superbike Concorso

Your enthusiasm, mechanical ability, and passion for perfection paid off.
