Leopoldo Tartarini’s and Giorgio Monetti’s trek around the world on a Ducati 175s, an extraordinary adventure in the history of Ducati and in international motorcycling as well. The goal of this incredible, pioneering trip, lasting an entire year (September ’57 to September ’58) and hitting the roads of all the continents, was to advertise the Ducati brand and to build a network of dealers in countries where Ducati was still unknown.

What a beauty
Yep, a timeless beauty at that and 107 ci single cylinder way back then.
Boss Hawg.
175cc = 107ci?! I don’t think so!
Beautiful bike though.
More like 10.7ci…
My God, just look at that craftsmanship of the fuel tank. Now everything is plastic and mass produced look and feel. It is true they just don’t make them like that anymore.
“Less is More” indeed 🙂 !…
I wonder what it cost then, and what the average income was.
maybe the ugliest gas tank in history. otherwise a sweet bike!
Biggles, it is 10.7 cubic inches, not 107.
Ducati models have staying power. Putting new tires on a 99 750SS now. 2711 miles!! peace
