The Ducati Mach 1[1]was a 250cc single-cylinder engine motorcycle, the fastest 250 road bike at the time. It was capable of just over 100 mph (160 km/h) in full road going trim (lights and silencer). Many were converted for racing use, and in the hands of Mike Rogers it gave Ducati a TT win when he won the 250 cc production TT. Nowadays it is one of the most sought after machines among enthusiasts of older bikes.
