The Ducati Diana Mark 3, also known as the Ducati Diana SuperSport and commonly referred to as the Ducati Mark 3, is a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) single cylinder bevel drive SOHC motorcycle produced by the Italian manufacturer Ducati from 1962 to 1966. It was a higher performance version of the Ducati Diana and sold to the American market only.[4] In 1963, Cycle World described it as "the fastest, and nearly the smoothest, standard motorcycle in the 250cc class".[5] It was replaced in 1967 by the Ducati 250 Mark 3.
