Ducati Other description

Relisting my bike as the would-be buyers check never arrived.

When I purchased this bike in was in very rough shape. It had been a racer and was fitted with the 350cc engine. I took the bike to Ducati restorer Ted Henry in California for a complete restoration. I elected to keep the 350cc engine as it looked exactly like the 250. It was converted to a 12 volt system. Everything works, including the lights, switches, key and indicators

I rode the bike for just a few miles, then put it on display in my living room for the last 3 years. I just tried charging the battery, but it would not take a charge. It will need a new one.

It looks like this bike stared out as a 250 GT. Over the years it was tinkered with and modified. I elected to restore it as a Diana. The 350cc engine has great torque and really moves the bike along.

Personally, I believe these bikes are the most beautiful motorcycles ever built. This one belongs in someone's collection. I have spent a great deal of time and money restoring this bike, so if it does not sell here on Ebay it will go to the Vintage and Antique Motorcycle Auction in Las Vegas on January 25th.

Good luck bidding.

I am getting a lot of questions regarding the restoration. I hope this helps answer many of the questions I am getting

The restoration was done by Ted Henry in Los Angeles. If you know of Ted's work, he is a master restorer of these bikes. The wheels and spokes were rebuilt and rechromed. The engine was removed and parts were replaced as needed. I believe the top end was completely overhauled and the clutch was replaced. I have reciepts, but will have to find them, as this was done about 5 or 6 years ago. The 250 GT, which I believe, my bike started out as, was produced only in 1964 and 65. It was basicly a detuned Diana with a battery electrical system. After Ted's work was completed we found a correct Diana front fender and a rounded headlight naceld. The bike originally had a squared front fender and headlight nacel, like the Monza. The forks were rebuilt and the rear shocks replaced. Everything was done to bring the bike to it's present condition.

I only drove the bike for a few times, before storing it. These bikes are smaller than I remember from my youth!!

Hope this helps. Jeff.

2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale Recalled in Canada – US Recall Likely to Follow

Fri, 15 Jun 2012

Transport Canada has issued a recall notice for the 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale due to an incorrect screw used in the rear suspension. At this point, the recall is only in Canada and the U.S.’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not yet issued a similar recall, but considering Ducati North America operates in both countries, a U.S. recall is likely to follow in the next week.

The problem with electric bikes...

Mon, 11 Jun 2012

This weekend sees the running of the most famous car race of them all, the Le Mans 24hrs, and to be a driver of one of the front-running cars has got to be fairly high on the list of jobs that will make ladies swoon. Speed, danger, noise, fame, physical fitness and lots and lots of money, the key elements of any top-line race series, tend to ensure that its star competitors manage to appear cool. But the latest press picture from Yamaha – publicising the firm's link with (Yamaha shareholder) Toyota's Le Mans effort – manages to strip away every last shred of of swagger from the team's drivers by plonking them on Yamaha EC-03 electric scooters.
