DUCATI750 F1 Desmo 1985 - 1986

　　In 1986, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Ducati 750 F1 Desmo, a road motorcycle in its second year of production. The bike packed the same visual and performance specifications as the previous model, except for a new front suspension system made by Forcella and several engine modifications to improve reliability.

　　The Ducati 750 F1 Desmo debuted in 1985 as a replacement for the Ducati Pantah and continued production until 1988 when it was replaced by the Ducati 851. In addition to the standard model, the maker launched the Montjuich, Laguna Seca, and Santamonica special editions.

　　The bike was derived from the 750 TT1, a racing model from the 1980s, which was a larger version of the previous 600 TT2 from 1981. Later, the manufacturer released a smaller-displacement version under the Ducati 350 F3 / 400 F3 designation.

　　In the performance department, the 1986 Ducati 750 F1 Desmo had its heartbeat set by a 748cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine managed by two Dell'Orto carburetors, boasting 76 hp with a peak force at 9,000 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

　　The bike's suspension system comprised a 40 mm Forcella Italia telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Marzocchi shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent handling capabilities.

　　As for the braking power, the bike packed two 280 mm discs on the front wheel coupled to single-piston calipers and a 260 mm disc on the rear wheel, providing optimum braking power.
