The Ducati Bronco was a 125cc OHV single fitted with a magneto, Dell 'Orto carb with tickler, drum brakes, and Silentium mufflers. The Bronco had a fixed ignition advance, and every now and then, it would kick back violently when starting. The bike was fairly heavy for a 125, but sturdily built. I don't think it was designed by Ducati's famous Dr. T who perfected the desmo valve system used on sporting Ducatis.

fter years of wanting to, last year I attended Bonneville Speed Week. This was an astonishing other-world experience. If you're not a gearhead, this won't mean much, but if you are, it is heaven with heat.
