The Ducati 125 TS has lasted the test of time. Not only has it become one of the finest Ducati->ke622 bikes ever built, but it also became the base model for which lightweight motorcycles are being designed today.

The 1964 125 TS is powered by a 124 cc SOHC single engine that's mated to a four-speed transmission. That powertrain is capable of hitting a top speed of 70 mph with peak revs reaching 8,500 rpm.

Despite its less than imposing stature, the 125 TS has become one of the most popular classic Ducatis around. It's a consistent presence in a number of vintage shows and competitive events, including the prestigious Motogiro d’Italia.

The model that was auctioned off at the 2012 RM Auctions in Monaco was in sound original condition, and came with the bike's original Rosso Rubino paint, adding history and character to an all-time classic. Expected bid price for the 125 TS was about €3,000 - €4,000, which is around $3,800 - $5,200 based on current exchange rates. Actual selling price was $3,409.
