The Ducati Monza is the most common of the 250 singles from the Italian manufacturer, though in Ducati’s case, “common” is a relative term. Some Ducatistas thumb their noses as the narrowcase bikes because there wasn’t much to differentiate between models. The square headlight design was somewhat unique, and was only made for the ’67 and ’68 bikes.
Fans of the bike know that these are generally solid bikes, but you need to pay special attention to the electrics, as battery charging can be dubious. Check out an example of a Ducati Monza restoration here on About.com, though the paint job is a bit suspect.
This bike (VIN: 98497) has been restored and “runs like a little Swiss watch.” Before being repainted, the tank was POR-15 coated. All motor bolts were replaced with polished stainless steel units, and it has a Silentium muffler, CEV horn, Flanders cafe bars, NOS speedo, and some other goodies.
