Overview[edit | edit source]
Ducati 200GT
First introduced in 1959, the Ducati 200 Elite was
developed by boring the 175-cc motor by 5 mm, to a capacity of 204 cc. That move
resulted in an increased output of 18 horsepower at 7,500 rpm with a faster top
speed of 87 mph.
More than just its performance
capabilities, the Elite 200 also featured a jelly mould tank, clip-on bars and
dual mufflers of the 175, and 18" wheels.
The Elite had dual mufflers whilst the SS had
a single muffler. As from 1962 the GT was added to the range
and styled like the new Diana - with a new shaped tank
