This gorgeous 1962 Ducati 200 Elite is a later version of the original bike which appeared to great success in post-war Italy in 1958.
It’s equipped with a 204 cc bevel-driven motor which had 18 hp and a top speed of 144 km/hr (thanks to the bike’s lightweight 105 kg).
While designed as a road bike, the Ducati 200 Elite could have a few modifications to the camshaft and carb set-up to create a racer.
In fact, the 200 Elite was Ducati’s biggest engine at the time and was produced as the company developed its racing campaign.
We have to agree with the guys at BikeEXIF, that the fuel tank has stolen our hearts, too.
See their website for more pics, and check out all the details of the Ducati 200 Elite vintage bike on realclassic.
