Ducati wqs foundes in 1926 by Cavalieri Ducati and his three sons, Adriano, Marcello, and Bruno producing, vacuum tubes, condensers and other radio components. In 1935 they had become successful enough to enable construction of a new factory in the Borgo Panigale area of Bologna. In 1950 in collaboration with SIATA, the Ducati firm finally offered its own machine powered by a SIATTA engine of 48 cc bike and weighing just 98 pouds and a top speed of 40mph. In 1952 a larger bike the 65TS cycle and Cruiser (a four-stroke motor scooter). was launched with moderate sucess In 1953 the motor cycle and electronic divisions were split and the motorcycle factory modernised increased production to 120 bikes a day. In the 1960s, Ducati earned its place in motorcycling history by producing the fastest 250 cc road bike then available, the Mach 1. In the 1970s Ducati began producing large-displacement V-twin motorcycles and in 1973, released a V-twin with the trademarked desmodromic valve design. In 1985, Cagiva bought Ducati and planned to rebadge Ducati motorcycles with the "Cagiva" name. but relented. Cagiva, sold Ducati in part in 1996, then the remainder in 1998 to the Texas Pacific Group In December 2005, Ducati returned to Italian ownership with the sale of Texas Pacific's stake (minus one share) to Investindustrial Holdings and in 2012 Ducati was again sold, to the VAG under the AUDI AG's Automobili Lamborghini banner

The 175 Sport was first displayed at the end of 1956 and was followed shortly afterwards by the 175T with a slightly detuned engine. Although the aluminium overhead-camshaft engine was based on the Gran Sport, the crankcases were now die cast and the cylinder head was in one piece. The chassis too was based on the Gran Sport with a single down tube frame that utilized the engine as a stressed member. Setting the 175 Sport apart from other motorcycles in 1957 was the sculptured fuel tank. Designed to follow function, it featured arm recesses to allow a crouched rider to hug the motorcycle while gripping the clip-on handle bars. There were even eyelets in the tank to secure a chin pad for racers who really wanted to get their head down. There were detail changes to the 175 Sport and 175T over the next few years; in 1958 the 175 Sport received a dual silencer and also a revised carburettor and from 1959 there was a tuning kit available with a larger carburettor and a racing cam shaft. These kits were fitted by the supplying dealers and the motorcycles became the 175 Super Sport.
This bike was imported from Italy in 1997 to prepare and participate in the Motogiro D'Italia Road Rally around Italy,

Racing versions of the Ducati Mach 1 appeared during 1965; the Mach 1/S and the more exotic 250 and 350 Sport Corsa. The SC was a completely different machine to the Mach 1/S which was a race version of the road motorcycle. The SC, like the earlier Ducati F3, was a hand-built racing machine that shared very little with the production 250. The engine included sand-cast crankcases designed to accommodate the double cradle frame. The cylinder head was the sand-cast 250 F3 type with shorter camshafts than the Mach 1. Valve sizes were 40 and 36mm. There was also a close ratio five-speed gearbox which is unique to the SC, with wider gears and longer shafts. Each SC came with individual wiring diagrams and magneto ignition was optional. The carburetion for the 1965 was by Dell'Orto, an SS1 30 on the 250 and an SS1 32B on the 350. Apart from the double cradle frame with wider engine mounts that was specific to the SC, there were also special alloy Marzocchi forks with stepped folk tubes. The wheels were 19 inch front and rear and for 1965 the brakes were Grimeca. Only around twenty 250SCs and six 350SC were built during 1965 and for 1966 there were some developments. The 250SC received a different carburettor and both models were fitted with Oldani brakes front and rear. There was a fiberglass fuel tank and humpback solo seat but the frame and running gear was unchanged. The 250 and 350SC were extremely purposeful machines but did not realize their full potential. Although not well documented, today they stand out as some of the most desirable Ducatis of the 1960s.
One of the rarest Ducati's ever, this 350SC is believed to be one of only six series two 350 SC motorcycles the factory ever built; originally built for the Barcelona endurance races. This particular bike has covered no miles since it was rebuilt some years ago by the very well known and respected British Ducati race engine builder, Anthony Ainsley, using new factory parts.
