The Ducati Diana, sold in the United Kingdom as the Ducati Daytona, was a 249 cc single-cylinder bevel-drive overhead-cam motorcycle that Ducati of Italy produced from 1961 to 1964. It was the sports version of Ducati's first 250 cc road bike and appeared at the April 1961 Milan Fair beside the touring Monza. Styled by Renzo Neri, it had rear-set controls, clip-on handlebars and a blue and silver finish, and a claimed 24 bhp gave a top speed of about 85 mph. The engine was a stressed member of a single-cradle frame, with a four-speed gearbox and chain final drive. The Diana Mark 3 replaced it in the US in 1962 and the Mach 1 in Europe in 1964.
