Description
c.1971 Ducati 350cc Racing Motorcycle
Engine no. 12409
Formerly owned and rebuilt by Rob Pearson, this Ducati 350 racer was purchased by the previous owner in 2009 via classic racing specialists, TGA. The owner had intended to race the Ducati but his plans changed and so the machine was offered for sale at Bonhams' Stafford auction in April 2012 (Lot 375) where it was purchased by the current owner (since deceased). At that time we said: 'Rebuilt with new bearings throughout, the engine is a MkIII 'wide case' incorporating a Carrillo con-rod; 30-32-30 crankpin with new bearing and thrust washers; 76.6mm Asso forged piston (11:1 compression ratio); fully gas-flowed head with 40mm diameter inlet and 36mm exhaust valves; new Colsibro valve guides; coil spring conversion; VeeTwo camshaft; and Pazo electronic ignition. Drive is transmitted via straight-cut primary gears and a rebuilt clutch to a standard Ducati five-speed gearbox. A 36mm Amal Concentric Mk2 smooth-bore carburettor delivers the mixture, which post-combustion exits via a Gibson high-level exhaust said to meet the usual noise regulations. The suspension consists of Marzocchi forks and Hagon adjustable shock absorbers, while the 18' alloy WM2 wheels are shod with virtually new Avon racing tyres. There is a Robinson double-sided twin-leading-shoe brake at the front and a 160mm Ducati stopper at the rear. The glassfibre fuel tank has been professionally treated to prevent ethanol damage.' Having been stored in controlled conditions and unused since purchase the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.
