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.

World Superbike rider Sylvain Guintoli has left the Effenbert Liberty ahead of the team’s home round in Brno, Czech Republic. Guintoli and members of his pit crew walked off the job, reportedly in a dispute over overdue pay cheques. Liberty Racing initially released a statement calling the crew’s departure as a “defection” born from a “misunderstanding between the mechanics and the administrative management of the team”.

Motorcycle Results From The 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

The 91st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is in the books, and while much of the media attention focused on Sebastien Loeb demolishing the outright course record, setting the first eight-minute lap with a 8:13.878 — over 90 seconds faster than the previous lap record —in his Peugeot 208 T16, history was made in the motorcycle divisions as well. Below are the times for all the motorcycle competitors in this year’s event. As expected, Carlin Dunne aboard the Lightning electric superbike, took top honors among all motorcycle competitors, marking the first time an electric motorcycle has done so.

AMA Pro Racing Announces Basic Twins Flat Track Class for 2014 Season

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

AMA Pro Racing announced a new class for Flat Track racing designed to provide a new stepping stone for up-and-coming Pro-licensed racers, replacing the Pro Singles class in 2014. The new class, to be called Basic Twins, is more or less a revival of the Basic Expert Twins division that ran during the 2007 and 2008 seasons, but dropped when the Pro Singles class was introduced for 2009. The new class will give young racers a chance to showcase their skills on Twins, easing their transition to eventually enter the Grand National Expert Twins class.
