Ducati Mototrans 200 TS

The Ducati Mototrans 200 TS was a 203.7 cc single-cylinder four-stroke touring motorcycle built in Barcelona by Mototrans under licence from Ducati. Introduced in 1966 and built from 1967 to 1971, it was intended to replace the successful 175 TS and looked the same as that machine apart from its colours and its larger piston bore. The overhead-camshaft engine took fuel through an Amal carburettor and drove a four-speed gearbox, and the makers claimed 14 horsepower at 7,200 rpm and a top speed of about 120 km/h. It was painted silver with red, the red changing to dark grey from 1968, with fine white pinstriping on the tank and side covers.
