Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonnio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine. By the 60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V Twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smarts win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years.
This race-prepared bike has been in a private collection for a number of years and is based on a 1965 Mach 1, in its day the fastest 250 road bike available. It is thought only about 800 were made with many of them forming the basis of race track specials. This example benefits from a dry clutch conversion, twin plug head, Dellorto carb, Borrani alloy rims, Veglia tavcho, Menani levers and a very nice looking double-sided front brake. Will make an excellent classic racer or parade bike.
