Ducati Meccanica “Sport 175”, 1957, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After the commercial success of the Cucciolo<\/a>,<\/strong> Ducati in the mid-50s had higher ambitions and aimed to win the races on city circuits such as the Motogiro or the Milano-Taranto, always crucial for sales. In this period the young engineer Fabio Taglioni<\/strong> comes to the company after the experience at Mondial<\/strong><\/a> Moto and identifies the 100cc class as the one where to win.
\nThe Ducati Gran Sport 100,<\/strong> also known as Marianna,<\/em> was born. A bike that turned out to be a winner and paved the way to several commercial and racing successes in the following years.
\nIn 1957<\/strong> the 175<\/strong> series was launched. The frame was modified for a more touring and comfortable use, but still powered by the refined engine with conic couple distribution. Initially sold in the T and TS versions, the Sport<\/strong> was later unveiled with a different fuel tank and handlebar.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
