Description
Designed by Fabio Taglioni, the mighty Ducati 750 series was introduced to the market for the 1971 model year. It was the first Ducati to employ its now-famous 90-degree V-Twin engine configuration. The 748cc Twin employed a bevel-driven single overhead camshaft with two valves per cylinder and had a compression ratio of 8.5:1 to give 37.3kW at 5250rpm. The five forward gears were selected via a wet clutch, while braking benefited from the fitment of a Lockheed front disc. It's believed that Australia received 823 750 GTs in both original Roundcase (produced until late-1974) and later versions. Today these bikes are seen as significant models in Ducati's history, employing the V-Twin and desmodromic valve actuation that made the marque's legendary reputation. Superbly proportioned, the 750 GT also has undoubted charisma that spans the gap between classic and modern styling.
