I don’t get the dislikes, I mean it’s a man talking about his passion in life. He isn’t bragging or saying look what I have and you don’t. These guys share some of the best bikes in the world with us and they give us the opportunity to own them. I don’t know I guess I am old school, if a man shares something special with you then you show that man a little respect. Love the bikes guys, I guess some people will hate on anything just for the fun of it.
I'm glad I found this channel. He is bringing back so many great childhood memories of these bikes I will never see again.
He is a true American hero,...the savior of a passing culture. Historian, preservationist, legal champion, craftsman of a fleeting art, this guy seriously does it all. People want things, the disconnect on the internet leaves some with just enough to let their ugly side show, and they take it out on the easy target, in this case a man of passionate involvement in this truly amazing gift to anyone who loves these bikes. UNOBTAINIUM,...... I say he is all that and more, because he has a fiscal responsibility to keep a MUSEUM alive too. You Go Kenny K,...it took me a fast moment to understand the whole picture of what you do,....NEVER STOP doing it. That goes for everyone else and their dreams too,...we just happen to share the same one,....and we should all share nice.
Axeman thanks brother I really appreciate your kind words...this whole project is a labor of love. I left a solid six figure 25 year career for this and invested 7.5 million (4 borrowed..at 4.25%) to create this place and work round the clock at it 4 the last 10 years. No regrets. The results are in God's hands.
I smile every time I watch your channel!!!
That exhaust note is something else! Love it
You are one of the few people in the world that could put on an exhibition race without 1 Japanese bike. Could you picture that... a duk , a harley, an old bsa , a CZ , hodakas , can ams, bultaco ... possibilities are many. I'd watch that.
Oh wow, 1965. That is a great looking dirt bike
The Ducati singles are sooooooo sweet!
Another stunning piece of history absolutely awesome 👍🏻😎
Incredible 😱there is a cherry !
Thee cherry 🍒
That rear sprocket though!
I love the cut to him catching the microphone
Love it when you do wheelies.
That thing has a bark to it !
That is my new favorite ducati after the iconic 996
The paint is off the hook!
One for the living room or man cave 😀
Beautiful bike and sounds like a beast. Didn't even know Ducati made racing dirt bikes back in the '60s that's the first one I've ever seen.
Ummm cause they dident..
@@hondaxl250k0 Actually, they did. They sold 250cc bikes for both road tracks and off-road. In fact both or their 250"s could be bought with "racing spares" kits. The "scrambler" version was sold with spares, including a set of struts to replace the rear shocks for flat-track racing. The Diana could be bought with spares that included jetting and megaphone exhaust system for road-racing. They didn't look like the video example, but they were racers just the same.
That bike sounds AMAZING!!
Looks amazing
back sprocket is huge.
i had a 82 husq wr250 hat had a sprocket that big with a six speed. i loved that bike.
Wow. talk about rare.
I’ve never seen one before.
I'm stoked to put a roof on this place.
That's too cool Kap! From a better vanished time to quote Rush!
Honestly you have nicest bikes come through the museum
Twin shock thumper you can hear the difference definitely in the sound i mean look at the rear sprocket its massive
Had 1 in the late 60's. Stock of course but there is nothing like the sound!
Bitchen! That has to be the best Duc scrambler ever built.
I've got three narrow-case Duc singles: 250 Scrambler, Diana MkIII and a 350 Sebring. They all run and they're a blast to ride. Love the Duc singles!
That thing looks to be ahead of it's time.
Bad ass bike!
UNOBTANIUM VERY NICE !!!
Its amazing how you find these bikes
Oh yeah that's fooking💕 gorgeous 💯👍
wow le son et sublime
Haha.. Rarer than that Bike is Kenny almost eating it @0:57. 🤣🇺🇸🤣
That was close black ice
@@KaplanCycles No Match for a Kaplan... 👊🇺🇸👊
Wow! One I've never seen before. Pretty bike. Should bring good cash for you.
Liked it before it even started 👍
Phenomenal!
If you are interested in ducati dirtbikes lookup 1971 or 1972 ducati R/T 450. My dad used to race those in AHMRA
Love it .
Bela moto. Eu não sabia que a Ducati havia fabricado moto trail. Parabéns pela máquina.
Don't see many of them ken do ya! Iv only ever seen ducati crosser's in high end collections. I wonder how many were built??
👊✊💨💨👍
I've never seen another
@@KaplanCycles is rite ken! Ride that beauty well ken coz you won't see another one m8! Go on you know you want too
👊✊💨💨💨😢👍
NONE were built by Ducati - this one is a custom one with plenty of "upgrades" from other dirtbikes from the 70's and 80's
Awesome 💎
Badass
That thing sounds dope
Beautiful.Before 2 strokes took over.
It does look like a xr 75. That ice is gonna get u one day.
Unreal👌I hope there’s a bidding war over this one
Unicorn!
I think ducati still use desmodromic valve system, I could be wrong(if someone in the gang knows differently I'd like to know as I am unsure)mercedes benz used it loads in there motorsports,A good desmodromic sounds fcukin BOSS!.
Sadly, this one is a Non-Desmo, with standard valves and cam
Ken, what kind of horsepower do you think that bike makes? You gotta weigh 240 and that thing was coming up without fanning the clutch.
22+
Holy crap I didn't know Ducati made a bike like that in 65. Wow!
They didnt, that bike has TONS of stuff from other bikes thru the 70's and 80's on it, it in no way is standard or even close, it's a fully modded bike
Very nice bike. I'm not an expert at all. but sounds like there should be a baffle in the silencer. Again I like the bike a lot. I had a one of a kind ATK LQ 250 2stroke it was a 99 like brand new miss it alot.
Look again. There is no silencer - just an open pipe.
Just to hear is start my face smile s
This bike is NOT a desmo- no such animal- it's a regular cam and valve spring, 2-lobe cam setup - I love people that have no idea what theyre talking about make videos
According to wikipedia, Ducati produced 250, 350 and 450cc desmo models for the public in the late 60's. Also, demodromic valve actuation was available for both the wide-case and narrow case singles at some earlier time in the 60's. The Mark3 Diana was an extremely fast 250cc street bike according to period road tests, as well as being a favorite for production road-racers. I have a hard time believing the Diana was so fast without a desmodromic head. My point is, how can you tell whether or not it's a desmo when so little of the bike appears to be standard?
@@doylegaines1319 Because I have been restoring, riding and collecting Ducati singles for over 40 years - I eat, breathe and shit Ducati Single cylinder motorcycles, they never made Desmo-Head NARROWCASE singles available to the public, only factory One-off racers, once the widecase bikes came out, then the avg Joe could buy himself one and they started to "Mass-Produce" them, so to speak, prior to widecase singles theres was only a few dozen Desmo heads ever made, and THIS bike aint one of them-
@@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes -Then it's not possible to retro fit a desmo head to an earlier narrow-case engine?
@@doylegaines1319 A 250/350 Desmo general production head from a widecase can be retrofitted on a narrowcase 25/350 without issues or other modifications.
However, the bike in the video is fitted with a spring valve head wearing a spring valve cam cover. That’s the part that says Ducati 250 above the spark plug. A spring valve cam cover is shaped than a DESMO cam cover because it only needs to cover the ends of two upper rocker arm shafts to retain them. A DESMO cover is larger and more trapezoid in shape to cover the ends of the two additional lower rocker arm shafts (4 rocker arm shafts in total for the four rocker arms) to retain them.
Desmo cam covers on singles only say DESMO. Even if you cannot read the cover, the different shape of the cam cover makes it very easy to identify the head as either spring valve or Desmo. Desmo heads didn’t enter general production until model year 1968.
sweet score. does that have the desmodici valves?
im impressed you rag all the bikes out on vid, full disclosure.
badass.
Bevel drive desmo
DESMO, is short for DESMODROMIC, not Desmosedici - This particular bike is NOT a desmo, it has standard valves and a normal cam
Oh! That’s just too nice. I may have to sell my soul and move to the USA. I’ve only just become aware of the one year only 450s of ‘72. Now this? That engine is a lot more sensibly located further forwards than the ‘72 bikes isn’t it?
Thank you for sharing.
This belongs in a museum........so why is it for sale?
Could still end up in the Museum. = Some people do not like dusting off and polishing their stuff.
SANTA 🎅 I WANT THIS!!!!
Jay Leno should own this.
Very good bike all around from the 60'S. Yes well said "It's like an XR 75 on steroids." I would put an aftermarket silencer just to smooth out the sound, plus it will look more racing.
Always look FWD to your videos.
How many bikes do you have at the present? Great video!
400?
@@KaplanCycles If you are passing through southern Ohio, I have a CB500 I will donate. It's all there. (i think)
Sitting behind the garage
