1968 Ducati 350 Mark3D Desmo Highly Collectible
One of 1,350 produced worldwide | First Wide-Case Desmo | Red Frame Only Year for 1968
This exceptional 1968 Ducati 350 Mark 3D Desmo, one of the most important single-cylinder motorcycles Ducati ever produced — and increasingly one of the hardest to find in correct condition.
This is not just another classic Ducati. The 350 Mark 3D was the first wide-case engine fitted with Ducati’s legendary Desmodromic valve system, marking a major engineering leap and the foundation of everything Ducati performance would later become.
To make it even more special:
1968 is the only year the Mark 3D came with the factory red frame.
Why this bike matters:
✅ First wide-case Ducati with Desmo system
✅ Only 1,350 units produced worldwide
✅ 1968-only red frame model
✅ Factory correct example
✅ Increasingly hard to source globally
✅ Investment-grade collectible

Displays as well as it rides — which is exactly what a bike like this should do
This is a motorcycle that sits comfortably among serious collections yet remains rideable and usable. It’s not a fragile museum piece — it’s a functional piece of Ducati racing heritage.
Investment Angle (because facts matter):
Early Desmo singles are rising fast. As supply declines and collectors shift focus away from mass-produced modern classics, bikes like the Mark 3D are becoming the new benchmark for real Ducati collectability. You’re not just buying a motorcycle here — you’re buying something history isn’t making any more of.
If you’re after something rare, genuinely significant, mechanically beautiful and future-proof…
This is it.
