In 1965, the first new concept bike arrived. The 350 Sebring was the largest [[Ducati]] of the day. Typically, Ducati built a racing 350 first. The 350 class was not common in the United States, so when Ducati team rider Franco Farne went to America to race at Sebring race, he had to race in an event catering to 251-700 cc machines. Despite the larger capacity opposition, he finished 11th overall and, more importantly, won his own class outright. In honour of Farne's victory the new model became the 350 Sebring. (Footnote: It was common for Italian manufacturers of competition cars or motorcycles to attach to the name their products events they have won.) | In 1965, the first new concept bike arrived.

The '''[[Ducati]] Sebring''' was a single cylinder, [[four-stroke]] standard produced by [[Ducati]] between 1965 and 1968. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 19.58 HP (14.6 KW) @ 6500 RPM. | |||
==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[air cooled]] single cylinder, four-stroke. A 76.0mm [[bore]] x 75.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 340.0 cubic centimeters. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 2.75-18 front [[tire]] and a 3.00-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via expanding brake (drum brake) in the front and a expanding brake (drum brake) in the rear.
