Please Note: The seller states that the bike does run, but he doesn’t have rollers to start the bike. Therefore there is no cold start video.
When it was introduced in the mid-60s, the Sebring 350 was the biggest bike Ducati sold to the public. This bike was named after Franco Farne’s class win at a race at Sebring International Raceway.
The Sebring weighed 275 pounds and was powered by a engine that produced 20 horsepower. When it was introduced, it had very angular lines, though these were eventually replaced with rounder bodywork.
It’s hard to look at the Sebring today and see a monster sport bike, but the race-bred machine had a serious if short time in the international spotlight thanks to the high power-to-weight ratio, quality suspension, and stellar brakes. Ducati would soon introduce Desmo heads…and the rest is history.
The tank has been autographed by racing legend Giacomo Agostini.
This example is VIN: XXX. The seller is our good friend Brady Walker who runs Classic Track Day. “I purchased the bike from a guy in the valley whose home burned down. He bought it from Australia where it might have some credentials.”
“It’s a radical race bike that could compete in AHRMA or other vintage racing. It’s ready to go minus a fairing. I purchased it to get it back on the race track. After the re-fresh, I took it to Streets of Willow and had a blast. But it’s just a little too small for my frame and it should go to someone who fits the bike and will give it the attention it deserves. Good luck bidders!”
