Why I bought a Ducati, and another one, and…..

Comments like this from the October 1972 Cycle road test of a Ducati 750 GT had me captivated;

“When the disc brake squeezes the bike down from three-figure speeds,

when the bike connects your nerve endings to the tyre patches,

when the right side peg nicks down in an 80 mph sweeper and the bike never bobbles,

when the 750 leaps forward from 3,000 rpm in fourth cog   –   then you know.

You know that a motorcyclist designed this machine and got it right.”
