The sport model of Ducati’s bevel-drive singles, the Ducati Diana 250 was an absolute beauty that was able to “hunt down” the competition – this was the Italian of choice for most younger riders that couldn’t afford a big bike. MSRP back in the day? $719. Here’s an example that was built for road racing a decade ago and has been sitting almost the entire time – it’s not running and you’ll need to put in a little work.
Again, this was the sportier sister to the Monza, and as such, these bikes were commonly raced. The clipons, lovely styling, and just 265 pounds of weight combined with a 249cc single that was good for 24 horsepower, propelling the Diana up to 85 miles per hour. In ’65, this bike evolved into the Mark 3 Super Sport, which got some more power and an exciting five-speed transmission.
Despite the fact that it’s not currently running, the engine was completely rebuilt with a Carillo rod and Venolia piston, and the bike also has Magura controls, a Veglia tach, Akront rims, Grimeca brakes, and more. It all boils down to – is this worth fixing up considering the current price? Find this Ducati Diana 250 Cafe Racer for sale in Wichita, Kansas with a BIN of $12,500 or best offer
