Specifications: 85 cc OHV single, three speeds.
The budget arm of Ducati offered a large range of pushrod singles between 1952 and 1968, catering to entry-level buyers as well as getting Italians back on the road. Ranging from 48 cc to 125 cc, the bikes were simple and economical and doubled for commuting and short-distance pleasure trips. It certainly did not hurt that they shared many styling details with their more expensive SOHC siblings. This bike is the conservative touring version of the 85-cc series, a very tidy older restoration finished in red with a white tank and good paint and chrome.
