The Monza was the touring-oriented 250 single in Ducati's narrow-case range, sharing its bevel-drive SOHC engine with the sportier Diana but in a milder state of tune. The 250 GT sat alongside it with slightly less power and only small differences in mudguards and yokes; from 1966 the two were the same bike apart from decals. It was a docile, lightweight road bike with a five-speed gearbox.
