Facing fierce competition in the auxiliary motor market, Ducati took the logical next step and in 1949 introduced a complete machine of its own. Powered by a 60cc derivative of the Cucciolo engine, designed by Giovanni Fiorio, this new motorcycle used a Caproni-built pressed steel frame with cantilever rear suspension, though Ducati was soon compelled to make its own chassis when Caproni ended the collaboration. Fiorio quickly drew up another engine: a 65cc unit with pushrod-operated overhead valves (pullrods had been used hitherto), which went into a new model: the 60 Sport. Early versions had the Caproni chassis, later ones featured Ducati's own, as did the successor 65T (Turismo) and 65TL (Turismo Lusso) models introduced in 1952. Apparently original and complete, this Ducati 65T is offered for restoration. There are no documents with this Lot, which is sold strictly as viewed.
