51 Miles – 1965 Ducati Monza 250
With just 51 miles on the odometer, this 250 Monza is currently functioning as art in dry storage. Expect to give it a service and a new battery, but this is a great place to start.

As long as you don’t mind having almost non-existent dealer support, a modern Benelli offers an incredible riding experience in a package that makes Ducatis seem run of the mill.
