DUCATI350 Sport Desmo 1979 - 1980

　　The Ducati Parallel Twins was a series of standard motorcycles manufactured by Ducati from 1975 to 1977. The twins were produced in several versions, including 350 and 500GTL, 350 and 500 Sport Desmo, and 350 and 500GTV.

　　In 1979, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 350 Sport Desmo, a standard motorcycle that debuted in 1977. It was in its third year of production and packed the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as previous models without modifications or improvements.

　　The motorcycle packed standard features, such as a single seat, a round headlight with analog instruments mounted on top, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, side-mounted rear shocks, and wire-spoke wheels.

　　The motorcycle was produced around a down-tube tubular steel frame with a 35 mm Paioli fork on the front and a swingarm tied to dual Marzocchi three-position adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, providing optimum suspension.

　　From the factory, the bike rolled on 18-inch wire-spoke wheels fitted with two 256 mm Brembo discs on the front and a 257 mm Brembo disc on the rear, acting as stopping power.

　　As for power, the 1979 Ducati 350 Sport Desmo had installed a 350cc four-stroke air-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 42 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm.
