Early 60's Ducati 125cc gear driven overhead cam 4 cylinder 4 valve GP race bike. Found in Russia with damaged motor, and modified frame. Morbidelli Museum is repairing and restoring it. |
This bike should be running by early 2003. Tourists don't usually get to see inside the restoration shop. Just think, if this had been a success we might not be riding V twins today. |
Fancy an 850 V8? This is the Morbidelli V8, a beautiful example of which was in the Guggenheim Exhibit. |

Ducati Cucciolo that Mr Morbidelli rode in the Giro a few years ago. |
Same bike, you can see it has been converted from pull rod to bevel drive overhead cam. Note the sump extension. |

Wow, a race car, powered by a Mach 1 Ducati single.
This is currently in the storage section of the museum in Pesaro Italy.
Steve was lucky to get a guided tour by the owner.
