Ducati's first production overhead-cam single, launched at the 1956 Milan show and descended from the 98 cc Gran Sport. It was light and rigid, with large aluminium brake drums, and came as Sport, Turismo, Americano, Formula 3 and motocross versions, with the Sport the best seller. Importers such as Kings of Manchester sold tuned versions.
