Marvelous! Thanks for the history lesson. I just returned from a ride on my 350 Sebring, too much fun! For physically small riders the narrow case models might be the better bikes.
Bought a 350 scrambler brand new in South San Francisco wrote it from San Francisco to Eugene Oregon and back again, vibrated for at least 24 hours after I got off that bike.
I´m glad to have found this channel. What a beautiful bike. The history of these models you deliver to us is priceless. I do wish you'd give us some specifications on the bike as well. Knowing the tyre's size, wheel material, bike weight, horse power...all that good stuff.
Impressive video. I have a 350 manufactured in Barcelona by Mototrans in the process of restoration. Mototrans continued to manufacture its own models with the single-cylinder engine until 1992. Thank you very much for the videos, and I encourage you to follow.
Nice video. Brings back great memories as my first bike back in 1974 was a 1972 Spanish built Mototrans 350 Road. I don't know why Berliner called it that instead of a Scrambler, unless someone else had the copyright for the name in the USA. I rode it all over the eastern US, from New England to Florida and everywhere else. No one told me it wasn't a touring bike, and at 15 to 18 years old, it was freedom to explore. Wish I could find another at a reasonable price for the memories.
Great video with interesting historical description. I'm already looking forward to the next videos. P.S.: You must come to Austria, we have really winding roads for Ducati single cylinders here. 😉
I had a narrow case 350, the main problem was the kickstart quadrant gear being mashed by the engine, funny that my 999S lunched its Sprag clutch too! I got lucky with the 350-someone at Walkers in Wisbech sold me one gear for a pound!! Of course there must be an inherent design problem. My mate had a widecase 350 mk 3 but wasn't markedly faster than my 350 Spaggiari rep.
Nice video gentlemen, keep ‘em coming. In addition to this little history lesson: Ducati may not have built a road going single after ‘74, but the Supermono should not be overlooked! 7:49 Nice Landcruiser 100!
That's right. But the Ducati Supermono was not an independent single-cylinder, but a "half" two-cylinder. Moreover, the Supermono was built exclusively for racing use and therefore never had road approval.
@@Tscharlie59 If I remember well - and correct me if I’m wrong - Ducati didn’t intend the Supermono as a track only bike, but the construction of its high tech engine, chassis etc. meant the price of a road going bike would be far too high to be commercially viable, hence the idea of a road bike was shelved. Some Supermono’s have been converted to road bikes though and I believe Ducati built at least one original road bike themselves.
I have one here in Spain, it looks like you have a valve lifter under the clutch lever, that is not standard on the 350, did you add it ?, the compression on mine is crazy hard to kick over.
Nice road centre calender, 👌
LOVING THIS CHANNEL !!
Great video!! i have a 350 from 1972, the sound is music and yes so much fun with this bike :)

i have a condor a350 with ducati engine it drives like a dream
I meant 1982, sorry for the mistake
Brilliant video and you are , of course, correct, the classics are the best, better than anything modern
Excellent.
Wow, supper cool! I remember lusting after one of these as a kid. I had a Ducati 160 Monza. The engines look very similar.
Very cool bike

Looks (and sounds) like a very sweet bike (when set up correctly - those shims and valves scare me!) Very cool dog, too!

I thought about that when I saw the video for the first time. You're absolutely right but the Supermono falls into a category of its own.
That's right. But the Ducati Supermono was not an independent single-cylinder, but a "half" two-cylinder. Moreover, the Supermono was built exclusively for racing use and therefore never had road approval.

@@christiaanvanderree1740One never stops learning. I think you have more Ducati Supermono expertise than me. ;-)
Very nice.. i own a 1969 version. Not tachometer only a speedometer in the headlamp and the tank is candy red and fenders a off white

The valve lifter was standard on the 350 and 450 Scrambler. The 250 had to do without it.
Hi, is it possible more info about Digital Modern Eletronic ignition? i got a Scrambler 1971 in Rome and i m interested about it ;-)
We made a video about installing electronic ignition systems to classic motorcycles; ruclips.net/video/zCBWXW1pjes/видео.html
cucillo was a single?
Great video on a great channel. But one thing make my ears bleed. You dont drive bikes, you ride them.
