• Notes:
  The 750 GT was penned by the now-legendary Italian engineer Fabio Taglioni in 1970 to compete with the superbikes of the age. Lacking the resources of larger Japanese rivals, Taglioni developed an engine with a capacity and power-output comparable to the Norton Commando and Honda CB750, so he chose to take the single cylinder, bevel-drive overhead cam single cylinder engine that Ducati already had in mass production, and create a new version of it. This was Ducati's first road-going 90-degree four-stroke air-cooled V-twin which hit the market in 1971. The 750 GT shot to global superstardom in 1972 when Paul Smart rode a modified racing version of the model to a popular win at the Imola 200 - helping boost both sales and reputation in one fell swoop. Over the course of its 1971 to 1974 production run Ducati sold 4,133 examples of the 750 GT making it relatively rare, and as such, these bikes have become most sort after by collectors.
