Just a touch over 350cc

You are obviously presuming that this motor is standard? Nigel has done various bits for me to this engine. Head has high lift cam oversized valves, solid rockers, high compression piston etc. So you comment is a little hollow really isn’t it?

@@davelloyd5347 That sounds great thank you for that Dave my reference was about vic camp motors doing the engine compared to the real four stroke tuners which they are not .

Thanks for the nice comments. Much appreciated.

Hi Kevin...the forks are standard CB77 and the seat was with the bike when I got hold of it. I will be swapping it for something a little more Honda, as I don't like the the pointed shape to it. Thanks for your comments and interest.

Hi there...thanks for the comment. Bit of a mongrel this bike. It is a Mach 1 frame with a 350cc Race prepared Sebring engine. It is in what is called a Vic Camp style. It was club raced up until 1974 and left in a shed until I bought it early 2012. There was a lot of parts missing or damaged which I made or bought. Since this bit of a clip was made I have done various other bits to it the tank is now a hand made Aluminium tank and the exhaust has been replaced with other little bits. I only use it in summer time on most weekends (weather permitting) but it pulls like a train. Beautiful to ride, although with the Ducati single slight vibration. My understand with Ducati in the early days there was no two bikes the same...I think it was a case of whatever was in the parts bin and it fits stick it on. It's a joy to own. Cheers..😉

+Lloydy1ify Thanks, good info. I had some experience with the early blue Diana MkIIIs and one FIII. I got to ride a race prepared Diana at a road race outing in San Angelo, Tx during practice. Totally fun and I broke an existing lap record then held by Jess Thomas on a factory Motobi. I've always been partial to the 'Dukes' and Parillas of the period, rugged and sweet handling to say the least.

Lloydy1ify So happy to know there are loadsa Ducati fans. Dad was a Aerial Square 4 owner and gave it up when he married my Mum ( l was at the wedding ) !! When l was away on service duty he would take her for a spin around the Havering area on my Mach 1 ,praising it's performance. Best Wishes to you ,Happy New Year ,from Bangkok.

I rebuilt the wheels...aluminium was polished on the polishing wheel (bench grinder) fitted with a polish wheel. Lots of time and patience. Cheers.

+Lloydy1ify New spokes or did you get them replated? +1 on all the hand polishing, lots of work.

+Mr. M your wrong. ducati's sold out of Germany in 1966 delivered from Italy in a crate from the factory had red frames. I know I bought one.mk111's in the u.s. had black frames.

Yes, all the Canadian and USA bikes came with a black frame....but I still see people painting them red, sad

When I bought this bike, as you can see is hardly original...it is a Mach1 frame with a 350 race prepped Sebring engine. Lots of lugs chopped off and at one time in its life a Triumph engine fitted..(Tricati) So for me to have rebuilt it to original would be near impossible due to the sheer cost. Anal people like to be critical, but I had to work with what I had got and at least it has been saved from the shed I found it in and it lives on.

+Mr. M . no mach 1s were ever sold in the u.s a .not a u.s. market bike . .mk3 Diana's _u.s.a.market bike black frames.. .all Europe got mach1's red frames. I raced in this time period for ducati in Europe .worked in ducati dealership's. and many times was at Berliner motors. the ducati importer for the u.s.a. hope this clears frame color up.

Hi if you want to email me davetlloyd@talktalk.net I can pass the details to you...cheers Dave
