TWIN PEAKS
|
Derived from the early 1970s 750GT and 750 Sport, the Ducati 750SS set the quintessential Italian sportbike profile because it was so closely related to Paul Smart's Imola-winning racebike. What's more, the very engine configuration owned by Ducati (or vice versa), the 90-degree V-twin, was an expedient move by Fabio Taglioni to counter the rising tide of Japanese inline-fours. Those first "round case" Ducati V-twins carried conventional valve springs; it wasn't until the 750SS of '72 did the desmodromic valve-actuation used on Ducati's singles make it into the twins.
