Ducati 400 F3

[Triple J]

the Montjuich had a front dumping horizontal exhaust and the SantaMonica and Laguna Seca had rear dumping, like the modern bikes, that is basically the difference.  Same HP, brakes, wheels, etc.  They had slightly different fairing setups due to the exhaust difference.

I would take any of them provided someone got me the 16" tires to fit!

Nope...at least not according to the book I'm reading. The Montjuich was a true race replica. The Laguna Seca didn't have the lightweight Marvic wheels, or fully floating discs, which you can see in the pics. Some Laguna Secas came with a pillion seat as well, and they all had steel tanks instead of alloy ones. The engine was the same though...you can tell from the pics that the carbeurators are still on the back side on the Laguna Seca and Santa Monica, just like the Montjuich.

The Santa Monica was a hybrid of the Montjuich and Laguna Seca, having the Marvic wheels and floating discs, but the brakes were street-legal Brembo instead of the Goldline racing brakes on the Montjuich. It also had a dual seat and a steel fuel tank like the Laguna Seca.

They're cool in a kind of goofy way, so I'd really only want the Montjuich as the others were compromised a bit. They don't look good enough to pick just any one up. Only 200 Montjuich's were made so fat chance though!

Thank god it's not yellow   

Fortunately for you it also runs











Please PM me if you have any yellow bikes with issues, that while simple to fix, I won't accomplish, and thus help stop global warming

If it was selling in the USA at this price -- it would be sitting in my garage right now.  (not worth the hassle to ship unfortunately)

I can give you his email if you want to low-ball offer him...

It just makes all the comments about the newest monster being ugly and the previous one being a "classic" so much more amusing.



As far as all those bikes-I would so rock the Indiana.

i know a guy who has one for sale in NY.. needs a side cover, but otherwise complete.

the chrome plating on the engines peel -- all of them.

i forgot about the wheels, those 2-piece jobs are awesome.  many of the LS and Santamonicas had floating rotors,  a lot of people did not pay the $$$ to replace them when they did, opting for the cheaper 300 mm bevel rotors.

i thought the MJ had the rear dump exhaust, i missed that.  Ducati.com says it shares the engine heads with the Paso which is rear dumping.
