Arguably the most iconic motorcycle of all time The model that put Ducati on the map in 1972 A matching numbers authenticated example Known history back to new MODEL HISTORY The Daytona 200 race for motorcycles had run since 1937 but it was at Imola in 1972 that the first 200 Mile format race was held in Italy. The “Daytona of Europe” attracted some of the worlds leading manufacturers and riders. 70,000 spectators crammed into the stands to see the likes of MV Agusta, Honda, Norton, Motor Guzzi, Triumph and BSA thrash it out against each other and works supported bikes from Kawasaki, Laverda, Suzuki and BMW. As if the quality of machinery wasn’t good enough, the excited crowds would also get to see the best riders in the world slog it out as well, Agostini, Read, Villa and Pickrell to name just a few. Ducati at the time were well known, but their reputation was based around what was described as “quaintly individual” motorcycles. To take them to the next level, Technical Director Fabio Taglioni had been designing a new V-Twin engine using desmodromic valves, initially in 500 then 750cc capacities, for use in competition.
