Absolute magic, Fun all the Way!! A nice review of the 1974 Ducati 250 Desmo single from Don Hall. He concludes that Dr Taglioni created a jewel of a motorcycle. Video after the jump.

Ducati has always provided the faithful with the closest approximation to race bikes on the road starting with the original 750SS. When the World Superbike series began, Ducati was right there with the 1988 851 Kit which led to a series of ever faster, desirable homologation specials. The current model is the 1198R which is [...]
