The home of Vintage and Classic Motorcycles.....

Thanks to Andy Breeden for this picture of a Ducati he spotted in Mannheim, Germany recently.  Some recent visitors doubted whether this was actually a Ducati...  well thanks to Simon Doncaster for clearing this up.

"It is a Ducati, 100%.  They made parallel twins in the 1970s, 350 & 500, GTV/GTL and desmo versions. Not many around because they weren't a 'real' Ducati, i.e. a v-twin. I used a 350 GTL version for courier work. Fun to ride, but a reputation for poor reliability, although mine was OK."
