Barn Luck
Déjà Blue 500
Sold Out
DETAILS
Cook Neilson shocked the AMA racing world with his win in the Superbike Series at Daytona in 1977 on his special modified Ducati 750SS ‘Old Blue’. A replica of the iconic racer was commissioned by the Barber Motorsport Museum in 2008 – the Déjà Blue. We’ve created our own homage to Cook and his team with a street-legal version, the Déjà Blue Ducati 500.
This one- of- a- kind motorcycle was designed, built and test driven by Barn Luck’s own Chief Engineer Rudy Schachinger, feared back-to-back Florida State Champion in the vintage motorcycle light & heavyweight classes.
