Ducati 350 Sebring (1965 – 67)

Ducati 350 Sebring (1965 - 67)

The Ducati 350 Sebring: a testament to Italian engineering and design excellence. Born from the success of its smaller OHC singles, this 340cc overhead cam marvel debuted in 1966 as Ducati’s first foray into the 350 class.

With its name derived from Franco Farne’s victorious campaign at the US racetrack in 1965, the Sebring exudes a sense of speed and agility. However, beneath its sleek design lies a touring-oriented soul, boasting a low bottom gear and riding position perfectly suited for long-distance travel.

As Dave Minton discovered on his epic 2,089-mile Le Jog adventure, the Sebring is an unstoppable force in any weather conditions. Its vibration-free performance, coupled with its ability to withstand the rigors of touring without compromising power or reliability, makes it an exceptional companion for those seeking to conquer the open road.

It’s no wonder that Minton was impressed by the Sebring’s endurance and poise on his grueling test ride, clocking miles in the pouring rain with nary a hint of trouble. This remarkable motorcycle is a shining example of Ducati’s commitment to building machines that inspire confidence and thrill-seeking adventure.
