Ducati

Reader Ride. Ducati 250 Single Racebike.

Didn’t get the owners name but he sent in the following info:

In answer to your request, here is some input of a bike I’m proud of. Once a basket case on a porch in CA, it was built into a show machine by Denny Berg. After 20 years of shows and setting in my office, it is now ready for its first track day 4/25. There will be an antique riding the antique. Fitted with a new front brake, good tires, improved steering, and with some goodies from Syd’s in the engine, shes ready to go. I hope to add a fiberglass “jellymold” tank to her shortly.

Thanks!  And I’d love to see some pice from her race debut.  Should be a great day!

Ducati Sport 1000 Modern/Classic Racing at Daytona.

Stunning modern/classic. A “best of both worlds” way to race I suppose.

TWO UPDATES: Gobsmackingly Beautiful Ducati…

UPDATE: For an excellent writeup on this fantastic motorcycle please be sure and check it out here at the indespensible Bikeexif.  They’re a great site that does the legwork to search out the stories and history behind a lot of these great bikes. Fantastic Work!

Update #2:
I recieve an email from the owner of the bike Mr. Mike Cecchini.  Most of this repeats the Update#1 in the Bikeexif post above and includes comments to some posters over on that site.  Pleas go there and check it out!  As a bonus he has also included some more great photos attached below!  Thanks VERY  much sir!! 

SORRY.  I’m having formatting problems with the message and I had to take it out till I can sort it better.  For the gist of it go on over to the Bikeexif post. 

This may be the most beautiful motorcycle I’ve ever seen. It’s easier to say than prove but for the moment, I don’t remember seeing it’s better.
