Ducati - Mark 3 - 350 cc - 1970

1970 Ducati Mark 3 Wide Case – Matching numbers This 1970 Ducati Mark 3 Wide Case is in flawless, perfect condition. The engine is mechanically in excellent order and runs as it should. The motorcycle is fitted with sought-after aluminum Borrani rims, known for their lightweight construction and classic racing pedigree. The Dell'Orto carburetor – a 30mm SS1 unit, correct for these models – provides optimal fuel delivery and performance. This is not a project or restoration candidate; it is a fully finished specimen, ready to ride or display, from one of Ducati's most celebrated single-cylinder motorcycles. No original seat, this one comes from a Mach 1. The market for Ducati Mark 3 Wide Case models has remained consistently strong. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a top specimen. This motorcycle is in perfect mechanical and cosmetic condition, with no defects. The engine runs beautifully, the Borrani wheels are in excellent condition, and the Dell'Orto carburetor is correctly tuned. Designed by the legendary Fabio Taglioni, Ducati's first overhead-cam head with desmodromic valve actuation appeared in 1955. The desmodromic valve system was a feature of the race versions and would later also be applied to the sportier street models. The first major revision of the original design occurred in 1967, when the 'wide case' block was introduced, with a wider rear engine mount than before and numerous other improvements, of which a stronger connecting rod construction was the most important. The first of the revised 'wide case' models was the 350 Mark 3, which debuted at the Cologne Show in September 1967, with actual production starting the summer after. The changes to the 'wide case' models were not limited to the rear engine mount; Ducati took the opportunity to adopt a stronger connecting rod and a sturdier crankpin bearing, and to increase the capacity of the lubrication system. The transmission was also improved. In mid-1968, the Mark III was introduced in both a valve-spring and a Desmo version, with the differences between the two remaining almost entirely limited to the cylinder head. From 1969 the Mark 3s had a single fuel-tank filling opening, and the 1970 model received a speedometer and tachometer on the top yoke rather than in the headlight shell. The Mark 3s were beautifully balanced machines. What is included: A box full of extra parts, such as: electronic ignition (new) original throttle grip choke lever
