Interestingly on visiting Mick Walker's showroom to view the Ducati range back in 1974, the vendor was advised by Mr Walker himself that a test ride was a ‘dangerous thing to do - because everyone that had taken a 750GT out for a test had returned and bought one…. the rest is history as they say!!
The Ducati 750 GT was a motorcycle made by Ducati from 1971 to 1974. Additionally, there were 40 1978 750GTs manufactured. Total production of the 750GT over all years of manufacture was 4, 133. Designed by Fabio Taglioni, the motorcycle was the first Ducati to have a 90° V-twin engine configuration, which became a signature feature in the Ducati bikes that followed.
