Such a win could not go uncelebrated and unexploited and Ducati developed the 750 Supersport in this regard, bike which was launched in 1972. There were bikes in the race, driven by Bruno Spaggiari and Paul Smart who managed to win the first and the second place. They increased the power of their production series bikes in 1968 when they came up with the 450 Mark 3D, series bike which could go over 170 km/h and was the first motorcycle that you could buy which had desmodronic distribution.Īfter registering a large success with the 450 desmodronic bike, Ducati came up with a 750 twin cylinder desmodronic motorcycle and introduced at the Imola 200 Miles race. The first Ducati model which was able to go over 150 km/h came in 1964 and was called Mach 250. Also in 1958, Ducati came up with the 200cc bike called Elite. Tagnoli worked for three years on a desmodronic system, from 1955 to 1958, system which was adopted on the 250cc bike ordered by a famous English racer Mike Hailwooda, in 1960. All these models were presented to the public in 1957 at the Milan Salon. We are talking about the four stroke Tourist 174 and Special and Sport models which could reach up to 135 km/h, a considerable performance for that time. In 1954, engineer Fabio Tagnoli joined the company, thing which would prove to be extremely good for the company as they came up with several spectacular models by the end of 1956. One year later (1953), Ducati came up with a 98cc version of this vehicle and they soon increased its capacity to 125cc. In the 1950, the Italian company developed its first vehicle, the 1952 Cruiser 175cc, a scooter which had electric starter and automatic transmission. ![]() The first motorized attempt on behalf of Ducati was the clip-on 50cc bicycle engine produced in 1946. Then the Italian government took over the company during the Second World War and pushed Ducati into making motorcycles. At first, the company had nothing to do with motorcycles, but managed electrical components. The Ducati Company was founded in 1926 by the three Ducati brothers, Bruno, Adriano and Marcello. ![]()
