Introduced in 1971, the 750 GT is the first production Ducati ever fitted with a V-twin engine, a configuration that’s commonly associated with the brand today. The Fabio Taglioni-designed bike uses a 90-degree air-cooled 748cc twin that delivers 60 horsepower at 8,000 rpm. It hits a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h), easier said than done 45 years ago, thanks in part to a low weight of 407 pounds (185 kilos).
The 750 GT only remained in production for three years, but it remains a tremendously important bike that blazed the path Ducati followed to become one of the world’s best-known motorcycle manufacturers.

It kind of makes me sad that a big of this nature is trapped in a bike. I kind of want to liberate this beast and ride it to freedom
