Ducati 750 GT
Fabio Taglioni's first V-twin Ducati was an elegant 748 cc L-twin producing 60 hp. The bevel-gear driven double-overhead-cam design — derived from Ducati's successful singles — gave the 750 GT a mechanical sophistication and metallic clatter unique in motorcycling. It directly spawned the racing 750SS and Super Sport lineage.
