This historic photo shows the very special 500cc V-twin racer, designed as a Grand Prix racer to contest the 500cc World Championship. This machine is the forefather of all Ducati V-twins. It was designed by Fabio Taglioni , a.k.a. Dr. T. The 500cc Ducati V-twin desmo racer of 1971 was in fact the first V-twin that Fabio Taglioni designed for the Ducati factory in
Bologna
,
Northern Italy
. It was the direct forefather of the 750cc that won the epic race
200 miles
race at Imola in 1972. The bevel driven production Ducati’s that were entered in production afterwards all date back to the 500cc V-twin desmodromic GP racer of 1971, as seen on the photo!
