Ducati Bronco

The Ducati 125 Bronco was a base model motorcycle that Ducati built from 1960 to 1966, mainly for its American distributor, Berliner Motor Corporation. It used a tubular steel full duplex frame and a 124.4 cc single-cylinder overhead valve pushrod engine, redesigned for the 1958 Aurea, with an internal oil line feeding the upper valve train and a winged laurel wreath and D logo cast in brass on the left flywheel cover. Compared with the Aurea it had more upright touring handlebars, a smaller fuel tank and smaller 16 inch knobby tires. A 1965 Bronco was advertised in the United States for 379 dollars as America's most popular and reliable lightweight motorcycle. Smaller 85 cc and 98 cc versions were also built, and after the Bronco and the Cadet/4 Ducati made no further refinements to its pushrod singles.
