Ducati Mototrans 160 TS

The Ducati Mototrans 160 TS was a 157 cc single-cylinder four-stroke touring motorcycle built in Barcelona by Mototrans under licence from Ducati. Presented in 1965 and built from 1966 to 1971, it was one of the two 160 cc models that replaced the 125 Sport and 125 TS, being essentially the same machine as the 125 TS with 40 cc more displacement and different colours. The overhead-camshaft engine fed through an Amal carburettor to a four-speed gearbox, and the makers claimed 8 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and a top speed of about 100 km/h. Paint was silver for the headlight, side covers and mudguards with black or red elsewhere, the red giving way to dark grey from 1968.
