The Ducati Mach 1 motorcycle was a milestone in Ducati's history. The Mach 1, with its 250cc single cylinder engine, was the fastest 250 road bike at the time. It was capable of just over 100 mph (160 km/h) in full road going trim (lights and silencer). Many were converted for racing use, and in the hands of Mike Rogers it gave Ducati a TT win when he won the 250 cc production TT. Nowadays it is one of the most sought after machines among enthusiasts of older bikes.
