Engine no. 9815
Frame no. 10634
Engine no. 9815
Introduced in 1946, Bologna-based Ducati's first motorcycle product was the Cucciolo ('little pup'), a 48cc auxiliary engine designed for bicycle attachment. Facing fierce competition in the auxiliary motor market, Ducati took the logical next step and in 1949 introduced a complete machine of its own. Powered by a 60cc derivative of the Cucciolo engine, designed by Giovanni Fiorio, this new motorcycle used a Caproni-built pressed steel frame with cantilever rear suspension, though Ducati was soon compelled to make its own chassis when Caproni ended the collaboration. Dating from circa 1949, this Ducati 60 has the early Caproni-type chassis. The machine was in its present, believed un-restored, condition when purchased. There are no documents with this Lot.
