Man, what a find.
I've noticed that with the hard times, people are going thru their garages, and putting up for sale vehicles that have been stored. Lately I've seen several older bikes on ebay with incredibly low miles, with the description of having been stored for XX number of years
Good time to grab a classic, if you've got the funds.

those shocks look beat, they would need to be replaced anyways.
it could also possibly benefit from a different suspension set-up. something a bit more modern maybe.

I would totally get that as a cool resto project, keep it period-correct, and take it to Montery Historics.

Another episode Ducati league in the world of car racing. The team "Tecno Racing, founded by brothers Pederzani in the first half of the'60s, was a reality just born in the vicinity of the Ducati, in Borgo Panigale, and to which he had joined a former mechanical department Ducati Corse, Renato Armaroli , which was part, along with Franco Farne, Giorgio Grandchildren, Rino Caracchi and Mario Recchia, of the great school of mechanical specialist Ducati.
In 1964 he was made a new formula, the formula K, so called because the structure of the chassis was inspired karting, but the appearance of the vehicle made it much more like a Formula 1 car.

K Tecno The vehicle was built by Tecno, a company famous in the'60s and'70s for the Formula 2 races. Tecno The team was the starting point for pilots known as Ronnie Peterson, Francois Cevert and Clay Regazzoni.

In the brochure of the time, the Tecno K was described as a vehicle for single-brand championship equipped with engines from 250 cc motorcycle. Different brands were mentioned suppliers, including: Benelli, Aermacchi, Ducati and Morini. It was latter to become the official supplier of the single-propeller, so that even now, some collectors who own the now rare specimens have renamed the "Ducati Formula."
