Ducati 750 GT
The muscular engineered Vincent Rapide; the gentlemanly smooth Ariel Square Four; the petite and potent Velocette Venom thumper and the Ducati 750 V-Twin, an Italian blend of engineering, power and seductive good looks. I’ve owned 3 of the four with the Vincent being out of financial reach.
Ducati Supersport 750
There are no high-tech materials to gawk at; only retro chrome-moly steel, some aluminum and other simple alloys. Yet, drawing on their decades of experience, Ducati has -- once again -- introduced to us a bike that stirs the soul in the purest sense.
Meghatározás
Generally, any two-cylinder motorcycle engine with its two cylinders at an equidistant opposite angles from the center rotation of the crankshaft is referred to as a V-twin. The Ducati V-twin is unique in that the 'V' is tilted forward so the front cylider is nearly parallel to the ground, leading many to refer to it as an 'L-Twin' engine instead. Either usage is correct since a 'V-twin' engine is not designated by a specific angle. L-twin refers, in fact, to a configuration with a 90 degree angle between the two cylinders, where the forward cylinder is near parallel to the ground.
