The Ducati 250 GT, also known as the Ducati Daytona GT in the UK, is a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) single cylinder bevel drive SOHC motorcycle produced by the Italian manufacturer Ducati from 1964 to 1966. At the time of its launch it was the least powerful of Ducati's range of 250 cc machines.
Introduced in 1964, the 250 GT was intended to be a replacement for the 200 GT although production of the two models overlapped. It was the first Ducati roadster to use the 5 speed gearbox. The chassis was mostly carried over from the 200 GT[7] but with the larger tank of the Diana[8] and the 31.5 mm (1.24 in) Ducati-made forks of the Mach 1. As the yokes of these forks carried no mountings for handlebars, high swan-neck handlebars were fitted that clamped to around the forks. Crash bars were fitted as standard. The engine was fitted with the soft 'black' camshaft and small 33 mm (1.3 in) valves.[7]
The 250 GT was criticised as being underpowered, so in response Ducati fitted a higher performance 'violet' cam and a larger 37 mm (1.5 in) inlet valve for 1965, making the engine the same specification as the Monza. The 31.5 mm (1.24 in) Marzocchi forks used on the Monza were also fitted but the clip on handlebars were retained, although later that year more conventional handlebars were fitted.[9]
In 1966 the bike was restyled and shared the angular styling of the Monza, Monza Junior and Sebring.[1]
The Ducati GT is a 250cc single-cylinder engine motorcycle, the fastest 250 road bike of its time
It was capable of just over 100 mph (160 km/h) in full road going trim (lights and silencer)
Many were converted for racing use, and in the hands of Mike Rogers it gave Ducati a TT win when he won the 250 cc production TT
Nowadays it is one of the most sought after machines among enthusiasts of older bikes
