America has always liked its bikes to carry more power. That wasn’t any more evident than with the Ducati 160 Monza, a product of the 125 cc SOHC engine that was increased to 160 cc to cater to the power-hungry US market.

In addition to the 160 cc SOHC single engine that produced a top speed of 63 mph and was mated to a four-speed transmission, the Ducati 160 Monza also came with a bevy of features that further elucidated its Americanized credentials. Among these features include a square tank towards the end of its production run, as well as a side panel and engine number that pretty much let everyone know that the bike came with a 160-cc engine.

This example comes with a dating certificate from the Ducati Owners Club, and they state is was manufactured by Mototrans of Spain for the US market.

It will require light recommissioning, although it has had new shock absorbers, chain, seat, exhaust pipes and battery recently fitted.

Sold with the dating certificate.
