Ducati file

The 48 SL was a home-market model from 1964 that combined the 48 Sport with the wheels and brakes of the 80 Setter. Its fan-cooled engine was detuned to stay under the 1.5 hp licence-free class. The Cacciatore was the dual-purpose version, with hand gearchange, universal tyres, higher bars and exhaust, solo saddle and rear rack.
