It looks like a Ducati 160 single..... could be wrong but looking at the front brake, seat and headlight , engine casing, shape of the tank blah blah thats my guess.

Can i have a prize please Mr. Green

it has a ducati 350 single.

but its not a ducati!

your the closest so maybe you can get a free tin of tuna. providing you goto the shop and get it yourself

My first instinct was a classic Ducati- cant be british, theres no puddle of oil under it!

Is it a brough superior with duke engine?

Well i'd say its got a DUCATI tank looking at the shape at the lower end of the tank but it has a BSA style 'tank slapper dial 'a' weave' steering damper and front wheel..................is it a mongrel.
I did at one point think MV Agusta 350 as my brother has 2 of those but hmmmmmmmm, the frame doesn't seem like an MV.

The other half is now scratching his head and muttering to himself as he trots off upstars to rifle through all his ancient 70s bike magazines!

He says he's seen one of these years ago in the IOM, it has a Ducati engine but it wasn't actually a Ducati, (he had a 250 Ducati himself at the time) at first he thought it was a Moto Morini but now he's changed his mind, says it's definitely an Italian name but he can't remember...... Rolling Eyes

Please put us out of our misery and tell us what it is. The rustle of the pages is driving me demented! Laughing

steve, its infront of my garage so i can park there

its a 1975 'CONDOR'

used by the swizz military (is there one then?) as a dispatch bike.. been restored and the engine is sweet as a nut

the engine is a rebadged ducatti 350 single
the swizz didnt want to buy anything foreign so condor basically bought a fair few ducatti engines and rebaged them!
