DUCATI 750 GT (1972-1973) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1972, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Ducati 750 GT, a standard motorcycle in its second year of production, packing the exact visual, technical, and performance specifications as the previous model without any modifications.

The Ducati 750 GT was a standard motorcycle that debuted in 1971 and continued production until 1974. The bike was designed by Fabio Taglioni and was the first Ducati motorcycle with a 90-degree V-twin engine configuration, which became a signature feature for future Ducati bikes.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a round headlight up front, analog instruments, a one-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.

Suspension-wise, the 750 GT model packed a 38 mm telescopic Marzocchi fork on the front and twin three-way adjustable Marzocchi shock absorbers on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance.

As for the performance figures, the 1972 Ducati 750 GT had its soul brought to life by a 148cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine managed by two Dell'Orto carburetors. The engine delivered 57 hp with maximum strength at 7,700 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was handled by a five-speed manual transmission and sent to the rear axle through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 200 kph (124 mph).
