The little overhead valve Ducati 98TS could trace its origins back to the 1952 when Ducati introduced their most sporting motorcycle to date at the Milan Show in the form of the 98N and 98T. A Sport variant was introduced during 1953 with the overhead valve machines heading the Ducati range until the introduction of the first overhead camshaft models in 1957. As the decade drew to a close the little 98 continued, now housed in a tubular steel frame and typed the 98TS, providing riders with an economical, small capacity sporting motorcycle capable of 53mph, performance that placed it on a par with many 125's from rival manufacturers.
This example, dating from 1962 is presented in good original condition throughout and has, until recently formed part of a private collection in Italy. It is accompanied by copies of the original documents.
