Piuma, meaning ‘feather’ in Italian, is a name of absolute poetic accuracy. It refers to a machine of remarkable lightness and delicacy, designed to glide along the road with the discretion and grace of its namesake. Within the Ducati range of the 1960s, the Piuma occupies a special place: that of a machine designed for the city and for riders seeking, above all, elegance and comfort, without sacrificing the mechanical quality that is the hallmark of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer.
Its 48 cm³ four-stroke single-cylinder engine is a marvel of mechanical sophistication for its displacement, a direct descendant of the founding Cucciolo, refined by fifteen years of continuous development; it gives the Piuma a smoothness of operation and fuel economy that its two-stroke contemporaries simply cannot match. Quiet, smooth and economical: three qualities that perfectly sum up the promise of a machine whose name evokes lightness.
The Piuma’s presentation is equally impressive: clean lines, meticulous bodywork, and finishes of a quality that reflects the high standards of a manufacturer whose workshops simultaneously produce some of Europe’s most respected sports bikes. Ducati does not produce anything without care, even on its most modest models.
1963 was a fine year for Ducati’s lightweight range; the company was at the height of its industrial maturity, and the Piuma benefited from this favourable climate. A model from this year in its original condition is now a considerable rarity, as the small Ducatis of the 1960s were largely overlooked by a collectors’ market long focused on the brand’s larger sports bikes.
A rare gem, for a collector who knows how to look beyond the obvious.
