Origin[edit]
The Ducati 750 GT is an Italian motorcycle produced by Ducati in the early nineteen seventies. Fabio Taglioni, the designer of the first motorcycle to bear a 90° V-twin engine; this configuration that emerged on March 20, 1970 became a signature feature in the Ducati bikes that followed. Fabio Taglioni drew the first sketch of what is considered his most famous and most loved engine, that acquired the affectionate name of "pompone" which means "big pump". [1]
Soon after the engine design was complete, the prototype was put to production. Tagloini's method that was used to create the engine served to be the ideal choice because it was direct, logical and practical; and that was because it was arranged longitudinally and in a 90° V engine. The final bike was very similar to the prototype and in June 1971 the GT 750 was out.
