1959 Ducati 125
This beautifully presented little Ducati,, has been restored by Pip using his many years of experience. In his own words....'I have a huge affinity for the 125cc Ducati, I rode my previous one at the Moto Giro and then subsequently completed the ‘5000 Curvas’ at the ‘MC Piston’ grueller in Northern Spain. I enjoyed riding the bike so much I decided to build another one, just in case, but sadly I’ve never had the time to use it. The build started out with a Moto Trans 160, this has a far superior crankcase with better cooling and oil capacity. As usual the engine, chassis and running gear were all totally rebuilt, new bearings, re-bored with a new piston, the works. The carburettor fitted is the ultimate and extremely rare ‘Small series’ SSi22C ‘green label’ Dell Orto I purchased from Marc Parfait, a well respected Ducati spares specialist. The electrical system has been updated to 12 volts with an appropriate coil and modern regulator/rectifier carefully concealed. Otherwise the bike has all steel mudguards, tank and toolboxes, the 12V electrical system is complete with all new switchgear and fittings. The wheel rims are the super rare, slender 17" Spanish ‘Sport’ ones with new tyres. The rear set footrests are all hand made, let’s face it, it can’t be called a ‘Sport’ if it doesn’t have rearsets! To enable the rearsets to function, I’ve made a ‘Swing out’ kickstart that clears the pegs and does away with the need for a ‘Mach 1’ style kickstart. A new seat, paintwork by my pal Pete Priest, and hundreds of hours of effort allowed me to create my dream '125' (with a few more ccs for good measure!)’
