The 1969 Ducati 24 Horas Series 2 250cc is one of the most desirable and historically significant machines in the entire Spanish-Italian production line-up; the Barcelona-based manufacturer, which has been producing Ducatis under licence since the early 1960s, entered five machines in the 24 Hours. Spaggiari and Mandolini led the race from start to finish, winning with a five-lap lead over their BMW rivals and, for the first time, averaging over 100 km/h during the event. A historic victory that gave rise to an idea: to produce a commemorative machine, entirely Spanish in spirit, born of this Catalan glory.
Unveiled at the Barcelona Motor Show in December 1965 and then in Madrid in January 1966, the 24 Horas was a pure and unapologetic café racer, featuring a fibreglass fuel tank, clip-on handlebars, rear-set footrests, a tail-fin seat and a megaphone silencer. Its 247cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine with overhead camshaft driven by a bevel gear, featuring an aluminium cylinder head, a Spanish-made Amal 376 Monobloc carburettor, a five-speed gearbox and an engine distinctly different from what Ducati was producing in Italy at the time. More radical, more competition-oriented. Top speed: 160 km/h. Around 500 units produced in the first series.
The Series 2, introduced in 1968 and of which this 1969 model is an example, brought two decisive developments: a racing-style seat and reinforced brakes, with the front brake upgraded to a double-cam, overhead-cam design. These improvements, derived directly from racing feedback, make the Series 2 the most refined and capable version of the 24 Horas.
A seminal piece in the history of MotoTrans, doubly rare in its Series 2 version, for a collector who knows that the finest stories in motorcycling are not always limited to the major Italian brands.
