Ducati Formula 73 Unveiling 2026
Event Details
Friday night plans? Join the Ducati Riders of Orange County for the Ducati Formula 73 unveiling in Costa Mesa at Ducati Newport Beach on Friday, October 30, 2026. A café racer with modern bones, a very short production run, and the spirit of the ’70s. Come see it in person.
The Formula 73 unveiling in Costa Mesa
Inspired by the 1973 Ducati 750 Super Sport Desmo, the Formula 73 brings silver and aquamarine paint, a gold tank stripe, and café racer proportions into the present. Just 873 numbered examples will be produced.
Underneath the heritage styling is an 803 cc Desmodue twin, with cornering ABS, traction control, and Ducati Quick Shift. Friday is your chance to take a closer look at the details and share the reveal with fellow Ducatisti. Read more about the Ducati Formula 73.
