DUCATI350GTL 1975 - 1976

　　The Ducati Parallel Twins was a series of 350cc and 500cc standard motorcycles manufactured by Ducati from 1975 to 1977. The bikes were powered by a parallel-twin SOHC engine.

　　In 1975, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 350GTL, a motorcycle part of the GTL series designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, who used the same angular design as the Ducati 860GT model.

　　The bike's visual department was represented by features such as wire-spoke wheels, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion strap, a round headlight with analog instruments mounted on top, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and side-mounted rear shocks.

　　Besides insignificant modifications such as headlight brackets, the Ducati 350GTL remained unchanged throughout its production period.

　　The bike was built around a steel frame that used the engine as a stressed member, also providing mounting points for a 35 mm Marzocchi fork on the front and three-way adjustable Marzocchi shocks on the rear.

　　The braking performance was achieved by a single 256 mm Brembo disc on the front wheel and a 160 mm drum braking unit on the rear wheel, offering optimum stopping performance.

　　As for the power figures, the 1975 Ducati 350GTL had its soul brought to life by a 350cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine fed by two Dell'Orto carburetors, delivering an output power of 24 hp at 7,500 rpm.
