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 Condition & History: Restored approximately 25 years ago Maintained by the same meticulous owner since Servicing by Pro Twin (Malaga, WA) Currently receiving a professional detail for presentation Via Clean Ride Starts, runs and presents beautifully 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. Serious enquiries only. Inspection available by appointment - Roberto Clean Ride in Bayswater. Can Ship interstate for East Coast Buyers.
