I have been told that it MAY be an early "prototype" or "test" Mach 1 that was released to see how sales would go before going into full production.
I would just like to have the matter settled. I am going to purchase a book (from this site) that is supposed to have detailed info on these bikes, but because I am poor as dirt, I will have to wait until pay day to get it.
Here is some info on the Duc:
Vin: (Left hand case) DM 250
(Right hand) 88005
I don't know if it is 4 or 5 speed as the clutch and some gears are currently out so I can re-wire the stator/alternator.
No tachometer.
intake port measures 29.6 mm.
carb is Del lorto SSI 29D.
there are 2 wires coming from the stator.
it runs with a battery.
there are bolts tabs for... but doesn't have side covers.
The tank has a cut away area for the carb.
What do you guys think.... the above info (I have been told) all points to an early Mach 1. I know very very little about early Ducs so I have no opinion. I have seen that Mach 1's have rear set pegs (this one doesn't), but that early Mark 3's didn't either. So.... either this thing is indeed rare or not a Mach 1 at all.
Well I can't seem to upload these photo's.
How are you supposed to upload? I read the directions and did what it said..... hmmmm
