DUCATI 750 F1 Desmo (1984-1985) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati 750 F1 Desmo was a road motorcycle manufactured by Ducati from 1985 as a replacement for the Ducati Pantah and continued production until 1988, when it was replaced by the Ducati 851.

Also, the bike was available in three special editions, including the Montjuich, Laguna Seca, and Santamonica. All of these models celebrated race victories obtained by the racing version.

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

The bike’s visual department was represented by standard features, such as a fill fairing with a rectangular headlight, a small windscreen, a single seat, a red-finished frame, a center stand, and three-spoke lightweight gold-colored wheels.

The 1985 Ducati 750 F1 Desmo had installed a 748cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine managed by two Dell'Orto carburetors, delivering 63 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a five-speed manual transmission and was sent to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the machine to a maximum speed of 200 kph (124 mph).
