The Ducati 60 of 1949-50 was Ducati's first in a long line of four-stroke, OHV singles that would run until the 125 Cadet/4 of 1967.

The Ducati 60 was only produced for two years.  The frame was supplied by Caproni but in 1950 Ducati decided to produce its own motorcycle which resulted in the end of the relationship
