I remeber UBC for a few months. My Father Brought home a Gift for me A Ducatti 250 Diana Monza. This was for winning a 5 year full paid scholarship. to be my chariot to UIBC and home . That it was, I had owend several Bikes A 650 boniville I had to sell as I left the Uk to Come to Canada. 200 tiger cub was my offial lerner bike some aincient bikes we resurected from th scrap yards . But that Diann was Not only a fast 250 it was perhaps the most stable of any on the road so speed Wobbles and I tempted them! The Best testiment to That buiikes true stock top speed Was the speeing ticket Mailed to Me . UNfortunately I was in a Coma whe the ticket arrived only 2 days afer te event I had a severe head on Collision. I was 21 now 65 and Well fro those injuries 60 days in a coma I survived because What made that bike stable and Corner fastr tn the invading jap screamers . Was the frame and My LIfe gaurd. I hailed that ticket because on the 8 miles of nasty river road Of th 1960s in Delta Te Officer clocking on radar never saw me under 85 MPs and typically 110 to 113mph Clocked by a failing police cat with Vascar radarsystem. He gave up when I settled in to a Never SUB 100Mph much has been said of the MAch 1-3 103 Mph being fastest but the sprockets of the Machseries were Geared For a better top speed and the Gear ratioes lowere in 1 and 2nd to give it compettitive off the line . MY Monza Was distinctly slow from 0 to 5 mph much like a excessive turbo lag. but from 5 to topsped it was unmatched and the use of great 6 speed Gearing made this bike a true Poor students choice of bike. consistent 80 to 85 mpg. even with the Bik wind screen of the day .
Would I own a new bike 250 monza IN A heart beat. IN a world dominated by 650 rockets and 1800 Cc mamoths that monza had it all! room for luggage and comrfot a noted lack of kidney shake. IN 4 months I clocked over 10000 miles on that bike. And I only replaced the Battery As the Post broke off due to poor housing. I curred that . I see all these bikes for sale with no miles on them obviously not Motorcyclists . Thjat owened them. Approaching 65 ANd Single I am re living my yoinger days. Despite a near death experience I am searching for a New to me bike.. THUs the real reasons Ducatti was a World beater is now uncovered . OH the timming never was adjusted and was as new on its last breath . THe Chain was made of too soft a steel. And I would love to see a belt drive for this .
Ducatti We do not need monster bikes . Where are the 250′s 350′s

Alas, I do not know much about Nortons but this one truly appears “unapproachable”. What a drop dead gorgeous machine! Dark day for the seller, but sunshine for the buyer.
