I have a good idea that this fugly little thing is on its way to Australia.

Didn't know Ducati ever made a 2T??? Maybe it's a rebadged Aermacchi engine the cylinder and head looks like one.

I saw one when I was a kid. Made an impression simply because it was a Duke.

Ducati actually made a few enduro style bikes (possibly rebadged ),even a six day version.

I thought it was a Morbidelli engine or or something similar but I've been told by the bloke who bought the little Ducati that the engine is actually made by Ducati.

Minerelli surely?

It has two strokes less than it needs to be a Ducati....

Its not a Minarelli engine

Ducati 125 Regolarita . Think well reasonably certain they started in 1969 and that the engines were out sourced from Aermacchi.
Ahh finding the old info. the pictured model is a 1975 one ,single side stand and thicker higher padded seat.. Now engine....
FANTIC 125... same thing

??

Oh I wasn't making a stetment Jim, just wondering whether Firko meant a Minerelli motor. I've not heard of Morbidelli making motors other than road racing motors or that very exclusive V8.

firko · « **Reply #13 on:** December 01, 2008, 12:16:54 pm »

Actually Tim you caught me out, having a pensioner moment when the old brain goes flatline

. I did indeed mean Minarelli.

jimson · « **Reply #14 on:** December 01, 2008, 10:37:32 pm »

Its Tim time

Tim Fantic used Minarelli and so did Aspes I've spelt that one wrong I think? Ducati didn't $:-\$ jimson
