Ducati’s 60s struggles gave way to innovation with the introduction of their “wide-case” single engine in 1967, paving the way for the iconic Ducati 250 Mark 3.
This revolutionary bike boasted a revised crankcase design, wider at the rear where it mounted the frame, and an increased sump capacity of 2.5 Litres.
With its potent 249 cc SOHC single engine paired with a five-speed transmission, the 1970 250 Mark 3 delivered exceptional performance.
The bike’s character shone through in its strong kick-start, new rear frame section, and sleek, streamlined design, making it a standout in the market.
