Ducati 750 TT1
The TT2 and later TT1. These spectacular machines were similar to Tony Rutter's four-time World TT2 Championship-winning TT2 racers. Modeled closely after the factory TT2, the production version also featured a 597cc engine using special two-ring Borgo pistons (weighing only 408 grams). via motorcyclespecs

Reader Ride. Cool Ducati and Cool Story.
It's like the bike found the right buyer at just the right time! sometime you find a bike and sometimes a bike finds you.
Brian Writes in:
Howdy,
First off I wanted to say I love your site. The bike porn you feature
always gives me inspiration. So much in fact that I finally get to
submit my ride and story!
I looked for a vintage Ducati for years here locally in Seattle. Last
year one finally turned up, a 75 860 GT. The price was REALLY right and
local so I immediately wrote the guy thinking either the bike was gone
or something as it was simply too good to be true. The ad stated a box
of parts and all documentation going back to the 70s came with it. I
went out to see it, and indeed it was all true. Bought it right then and
there. Took it home and started doing some research. It was cafed pretty
early on in it's life. I saw in a DIOC newsletter index the story of a
cafed 860, turned to the page, and saw my bike! Looking exactly as it
looked then, except for a few new additions.
I am actually taking it back to stock now but thought it would be a neat
story to post up on your site. How it got from California to Seattle is
a mystery. Fantastic bike to ride and sounds like a terror with the
authentic Conti pipes!
Cheers,
Bryan
Outstanding! Thanks Bryan!

Reader Ride. Ducati Pantah 500.
Greg Writes in:
Ian Fallon wrote for the Ducati Museum -
Introduced as a 500 in 1979, the Pantah engine was designed and built by engineers Fabio Taglioni and Gian Luigi Mengoli. It formed the basis of the Ducati production/racing program for years to come. So advanced was the design that it was still in production throughout the 1980s ... Pantah used a toothed belt camshaft drive instead of the earlier bevel-gears. Other important technical developments were the racing-inspired 60° included valve angle and the forged one-piece crankshaft. These features improved the bike’s reliability and made the design more suitable for competition.
I have owned this bike for three years and love it. The camshafts on this motor makes it feel like it free revs and it wants to go past its 10,000rpm redline. The suspension and frame work very well and will keep up with any of my friends larger displacement bikes in the twisties. It is an easy bike to push and control and I believe one of the more beautiful. If you get a chance to ride one you will not be disappointed. This was the first belt drive Ducati and the basis of every Ducati motor since.
Thanks for a great site.
