DUCATI851 Strada 1989 - 1990

　　The Ducati 851 was a sports motorcycle dressed in a full fairing and powered by a V-twin liquid-cooled engine. The bike was created in 1987 as a successor to the Ducati 750 F1 and continued production until 1992, when it was replaced by the Ducati 888.

　　In 1989, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 851 Strada, a sports motorcycle in its second year of production, with no significant modifications compared to the previous model.

　　The bike's aspect was similar to the first model, packing the same standard features, such as a single seat, a rectangular headlight, a full fairing with a medium windscreen, a side stand, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

　　The front end was fitted with an upside-down Marzocchi telescopic form and two 280 mm discs with four-piston calipers, while the rear end was operated by an adjustable Marzocchi shock absorber and a 260 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper.

　　In the performance department, the 1989 Ducati 851 Strada had its soul brought to life by an 851cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering an output power of 109 hp at 10,000 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.

　　The engine power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a dry multi-plate clutch and a final chain drive, pushing the bike to a top speed of 241 kph (150 mph).
