1965 Ducati

THE BIKE SPECIALISTS, TRADING STANDARD AWARD WINNERS. Here at The Bike Specialists we have for sale our very rare Ducati 250 Bevel Mk3 widecase Race bike. Our example is in beautiful condition and it gives the opportunity for someone to own a piece of Ducati's 1960's Racing heritage. The bike is CRMC registered (Classic Racing Motorcycle) and has undergone a tasteful restoration which included the fitting of an electronic ignition system, 18" alloy front and rear rims, new spokes and new Dunlop period style tyres. The bike is fitted with twin leading shoe front brakes, Hagen rear suspension units and Tomeselli levers and race throttle. The engine components include a balanced race crank, twin spark cylinder head and high compression piston and race clutch pack. Designed by Fabio Taglioni, Ducati's first overhead-camshaft single - the 100 Gran Sport - appeared on the racetrack in 1954 and soon proved unbeatable in its class. A pair of 175cc roadsters was introduced for the 1956 season, the sports version of which was capable of more than 80mph, an astonishing achievement at the time and one that helped establish the 'giant killing' reputation long enjoyed by Ducati's miniature masterpieces. In 1959 the engine capacity was increased to 204cc for the Elite and 200SS models, and then in 1961 came the first road-going '250', the Diana. Developed from a successful production racer, the sporting newcomer sold as the 'Daytona' in the UK and could be ordered with a race kit for track use. The kit boosted engine power and raised top speed from 84mph to the magic 'ton', demonstrating a potential for further development that would be fully realised by the Daytona's successor: the legendary Mach I. This is a rare example of the Ducati Racer would be a fantastic addition to any serious collection and an ideal classic racer or parade bike. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information or to place a small deposit to secure the bike. We offer full finance options and can organise delivery world wide.
