Why Ducati’s 1-Cylinder Bike Was Faster Than Anyone Expected .
How did a single-cylinder motorcycle manage to humiliate bikes with twice the displacement and triple the cylinders on racetracks across Europe?

I believe that is his 4th or 5th restomod and I really admire his work, the electric start is a nice addition as well as the custom tin work.

I had the 250 cc version - YDS7 IIRC - old and ratty but loved it.

I did a little work on a rd350 a couple yrs ago for a neighbor... full little bike to ride... but very small bike!

 

[Its been a long time]

This isn't my actual bike, but I had a RD350B identical to this one back in the day. Probably the most fun I ever had on two wheels. But it was expensive to run it on an apprentice wage of about £14 a week. It wasn't a cheap bike to run by any means and it was my only transport.

I bought a 1971 R5 new, fast and fun. Same color.

My '74 RD350 was burgundy with the white horizontal stripes.

I think too many complementary photos and details to be AI, so I think it's probably real. I admire the tech and fab. Probably a little over the top; as always, beauty is in the eye of the beholder
