Ducati's last real off-road, four stroke, competition motorcycles were the 1971 450 R/T and 450 R/S. The RT had a Seely style frame that looked stylish, especially when compared to the old style frames on other Ducati singles, but 1971 was a few years too late. Fewer than 400 were made 

 Here's a pic of what was probably the prototype (of what some call "a Duc too far")  with Franco Farne in the foreground and Dr. T.
