Ducati 250 Sprint
The Ducati 250 Sprint is a bike that came with a minimalist design, as well as Ducatis new 249 cc SOHC single wide-case engine that was mated to a five-speed transmission. The 250 Sprint was built for sprint racing and hill climbing, with the latter being a popular form of racing back in Italy during the 60s and the 70s. Back then, the Ducati single engines were a popular choice amongst enthusiasts. The 250 Sprint not only came with that powertrain, but they also had a significantly larger DellOrto PHF32AS carburetor and twin spark plugs. To save weight, the seat and tailpiece were made from fiber-glass, as was the fuel tank. In addition, the bike also came with rear-set foot-pegs, clip-on bars, and a fly-screen with a Veglia tachometer whereas the wheels came with Borrani rims.
