1962 Ducati Daytona 250, For Sale (San Leandro, California)

1962 Ducati Daytona 250 Frame number: DM 250 81323 IGM 1985 OM (British VIN) Engine number: DM 250 90984 ("narrow case") 4k miles on odometer (true mileage on chassis unknown). 4k miles on current engine. Once a race bike in the UK, with a different engine, imported into the US in August of 2004. Ducati singles got heavier and slower in the late 1960s. Until the twin was released, this would’ve been the highest performance Ducati on the street. I built this bike with that in mind. Put together a reliable—yet still fast—Ducati single that can handle 1,000-mile journeys. Hide the modern improvements while keeping the flavor of the era at the forefront. I was not disappointed with the results. Sure, it's quick in the twisties, but it’s also stable-as-a-rock in an 80mph sweeper. Being so light (250 lb.) you can lean over as far as you'd like and the tires will just laugh and ask for more. As good as it looks, it’s that fun to ride. A true giant killer - there’s a reason Ducati already had a reputation in the 1960s. Successfully completed the Moto Melee, SoCal TT, NorCal TT, and the 49-Mile Ride without ever touching a chase truck. Awarded the Wise Blood on the SoCal TT and People's Choice on the NorCal TT. Completed 4k street miles in 2012-2013 without any issues other than braking a clutch cable. Broke the ton (on GPS) in Southern California in 2012. Specifications: 250 cc, 5-speed, Mach 1-spec engine restored/built by the late Henry Hogben. 30 mm, SS1 Dell’Orto carburetor. Open, stainless steel, reverse-cone exhaust. Tuned on an Eddy Current Dyno in Redwood City, California (documentation included). Converted to 12 volts (charging system is able to keep the battery charged the with lights on, high or low beam, all day). Dyna Ignition Booster; ignition points will last forever; just add a little points cam grease periodically. H4 halogen headlight conversion with 1957 MV Agusta headlight lens. LED tail/brake light with front brake switch (sourced from a Tesla Roadster). MP600 front forks and triple trees; Hagon rear shocks; Hagon stainless steel spokes. Borrani 4354 rims with stainless spokes on Ducati 7-rib hubs. AirTech bodywork; fuel tank professionally sealed by AirTech and rubber mounted. 1100 aluminum front fender; handmade during an Evan Wilcox tutorial. Dr. Desmo Gear Gazer; one from his last batch without "Dr. Desmo" milled into the aluminum, a cleaner look. Black suede seat; made with kayak seat foam (for its supportive and resilient properties). Tomaselli clip-ons with Tomaselli Matador perches and levers and a Tomaselli SuperPractic throttle. Barleycorn Engineering (UK) rear-sets with optional folding footrest and optional folding toe piece. Motion Pro longitudinally-wound front brake cable. Modified kick starter with stainless steel button-head hardware; much more secure than the original design. Speedhut custom tachometer with matching “Ducati” font (an option that is no longer available). USB port with switch; used to charge cell phone, etc. on longer adventures. Isle of Man registration (front, left) as a nod to its British past; some of the parts on the bike were sourced from the Isle of Man (per included receipts). The speedometer started reading high recently but the odometer is spot on. After giving the bike a thorough once-over and the aluminum bits a nice polish in April 2020, the bike is 100% ready for the next owner. New clutch cable (Motion Pro) and battery (maintenance free) installed in April 2020. Right side / GP shift; easily swapped to street shift if desired. Upgraded to tapered steering head bearings.
