The Day That Saved Ducati! Its First Successful V-Twin Superbike wins at the Daytona of Italy, 1972
Find us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/cw/CycleWorldPodcastEvery superbike and MotoGP bike Ducati has made in the last 50-plus years owes it all to the company's first successful V-twin racer: The 1972 Imola 750. The Imola 200-mile race was the coming out party for Ducati's 750 Imola racebike, designed and led by the great engineer Fabio Taglioni. It was the motorcycle Ducati needed to stay in business, and the win showed it was exactly the right bike at precisely the right time, all the way down to its bevel-driven overhead-cam desmodromic valve system. It's a story of financial woes, drama, and an unlikely success that set Ducati on a path it maintains today. Join Technical Editor Kevin Cameron and Editor-in-Chief Mark Hoyer as they talk about the Imola 750 and Hoyer's chance to see one of the original eight bikes in person with Mecum Auctions as that example gets prepared for the Monterey Car Week Auction August 13-15.

Motorcycle Purchase Decisions Are Emotional--Or Why we Fall for Styling
Find us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/cw/CycleWorldPodcastThe US motorcycle market is a market of love.

They also consider that motorcycles at the very least have to be more honest than cars in what they represent underneath their skin. Find out if you agree and we'll see you in the comments!
