That's more like the weight of a small car. The motorcycle probably weighs in the ballpark of 400-500 lbs.

Still far too much weight to hang from the (assuming) 2x4 wall studs behind the drywall there. Also probably quite a hassle to get down when you need to ride it and when you come back home to re-mount it on the wall.

Tons of old Ducati super sport motorcycles end up as decorations that will never touch the street or track ever again because maintaining them makes no sense...

Wonder if it’s mostly been gutted and is literally just decoration.

Yeah if you manage to get it hanging safely, how will it ever be anything else than decoration? It's not a 20 lbs racing bike.

For it to be usable you would need some mechanism to raise and lower it, and then the decoration aspect will go.
