Lets start by saying you will not see the bike in every collectors collection. Gasoline Motor Co is proud to offer such a rare model that's about 60years old in Ducati's History. In the mid 60s, Ducati offered a pair of singles called the Cadet and the Mountaineer that were both powered by a 97.6cc engine. The Cadet was a road bike and the Mountaineer (as you can guess from the name) was more of a dual-sport before the term existed.

The engine was good for 7.2 horsepower, and as this example is an early model the engine is paired to a twist grip handlebar shift (which would be replaced with a foot selector in 1967). For more off-road suitability, the Mountaineer was given a luggage rack, scrambler exhaust, and a larger rear sprocket than the Cadet. This example has spent some time in storage as part of a collection, however it will need some love to get it back to running order.

In addition to knobby tires, the Mountaineer has a high-mounted exhaust pipe with a perforated leg shield. The three-speed manual transmission uses an unusual left handlebar twist-grip shifter along with the clutch lever. Also unusual, dual sprockets allow the rider to switch the chain from taller to shorter to suit the type of trail riding.

The Mountaineer’s design mimics the Ducati street bikes of the day, including the distinctive tank with indentations for the rider’s knees. This bike is being sold as and does not come with any paperwork or roadworthy. It is all original and offers some authentic patina that really shows off the age.
