Positioned in Ducati's sport touring motorcycle lineup, the 1989 Ducati 350 F3 utilizes a 349 cc (21.3 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 42 HP (30.7 kW) at 9,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 120.3 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
