Ducati 250 Mark 3

The 250 Mark 3 was made between 1964 and 1967 with minor detail changes batch by batch. Its 74mm bore with 57.8mm stroke gave 248.6cc, with a bevel drive, overhead camshaft and magneto ignition and a Dell'Orto SS1 29A carburetor for 30 horsepower at 8000rpm. A 54in wheelbase and a seat height of 30in, with 18in wheels front and back, offered nimble yet secure handling that Ducati was renowned for. It is believed that less than 4000 units were made over four years and few remain.
