The Monza was one of a myriad of quarter-liter singles from Ducati, but it was an important one in the Italian marque's history. Supposedly, the 'narrow-case' 250cc was originally designed in response to a request from a high-volume Ducati dealership in England. Ducati would produce singles between 1950 and 1974. Designed by the brilliant Taglioni, the Ducati quarter-liter four-strokes had the distinction of being the fastest 250s of the time. The Bologna factory utilized all-rolling-bearing construction with SOHC (single overhead cam) driven by a towershaft and bevel gears. This beautiful example runs and rides extremely well, it's a wonderful little bike that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
