What brand is Xue Yang's blue motorcycle?

Ducati (NYSE: DMH) was founded in 1926 by its founder Antonio Cavalieri, an Italian motorcycle manufacturer headquartered in Bologna, Italy. Its products are famous for their excellent performance and Italian design.

In p>1954, Ducati welcomed a crucial figure, that is, Faber, a creative engineer? FabioTaglioni. The motorcycles he designed are never conformist, and their shapes are extremely avant-garde! On the other hand, these motorcycles have excellent performance and can stand the test of competition. In order to prove the performance of motorcycles, Ducati participated in long-distance races such as Milan-taranto.

Taglioni quickly developed an engine with a displacement of 1ml, which was mounted on a Marianna motorcycle, and achieved several important victories in the small-displacement motorcycle race. However, Tagorioni, who is ambitious and talented in design, is not satisfied with the small displacement engine. In 1957, he designed the first single-cylinder engine with Desmodromic valve control technology in Ducati with a displacement of 125ml, and equipped it on the Trailbero model. In 1958, he designed the "Elite" with Desmo valve control technology with a displacement of 2 ml, which was very popular. He also introduced the Tourist with a four-stroke 174 ml engine, and its special edition and sports edition, with excellent performance, and the speed could reach 11 km/h, 12 km/h and 135 km/h respectively, which was a remarkable achievement at that time! In the late 196s, he designed the first V-shaped twin-cylinder engine with Desmo valve control technology, which is still used in various motorcycle engines in Ducati.

from 1954 to 1989, Tagorioni was the chief designer and technical director of motorcycles in Ducati. He devoted most of his life to Ducati and designed many motorcycles with excellent performance. Ducati CEO CarloDiBiagio spoke highly of Taglioni: "Without him, there would be no Ducati company today!"

Powerful 25 Cyclone: Diana, Monza, Aurel, Competitor

In the 196s, the representative product of Ducati was not the current V-shaped double-cylinder large-displacement sports car, but the single-cylinder engine 25 series. In 1964, Ducati had a strong lineup of 25ml motorcycles. The famous models were DianaMark3, Monza, Aurea, Scrambler, etc. They were able to reach a speed of about 15km/h, which was an excellent achievement at that time and captured the hearts of sports motorcycle fans all over the world. In 1968, Ducati made great improvement in engine performance. On the basis of Mark3, it expanded the engine displacement, and introduced the 45Mark3D with a powerful whirlwind, which reached an incredible speed of 17 km/h at that time!

Entering the Super Motorcycle: The Birth of V-shaped Twin-cylinder

In the late 196s, in order to gain a place in the competition, Taglioni used a crankcase to split two single-cylinder engines, thus the first V-shaped Twin-cylinder engine in Ducati was born. 1972, Paul? PaulSmart drove a motorcycle with a 75ml V-shaped twin-cylinder engine and swept the race field in imola (Italian city). His beautiful debut shocked the racing world. In this competition, Ducati not only defeated the giants, such as MVAgusta, Triumph, Laverda and Motorbike? MotoGuzzi, BSA and powerful Japanese rivals Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki also took this opportunity to pave the way for Ducati's motorcycle products to enter the field of large motorcycles.

the 75'SS, introduced in 1974, inherited the characteristics of the 75 racing car that won the Imota race. This is a sports motorcycle that can meet the various needs of drivers, with outstanding design, superb technology, strong power and flexible handling. It is equipped with a V-shaped twin-cylinder engine which is perpendicular to each other and has a total displacement of 748 ml, and adopts air cooling technology. The maximum power of 95 rpm is 53 kW, and the lightweight 5-speed gearbox can quickly accelerate the 75'SS with a net weight of 187 kg to 22 km/h..

Ducati introduced the 9MHR in 1979 to celebrate last year's Mike? MikeHailwood won the first TT World Championship on the Isle of Man. The 75F1 produced in 1984 is a very successful motorcycle product.

days of our lives: Super sports car series

Due to bureaucratic management, the market operation was inflexible, and Ducati Company was already faltering in the 198s. Fortunately, it also has a two-cylinder large-displacement engine. In 1985, Kajiwa Company acquired Ducati Company, and positioned the development direction of Ducati Company as the research and development and production of super motorcycles, which helped Ducati create the days of our lives of sports cars.

Ducati's 75F1, Paso and other models, as well as the 75ml Pantah developed afterwards, basically belong to the same type in engine design, until Ducati introduced the 851 model in 1988.

1989-1998

The strength of 851 was fully proved by Ducati's participation in high-standard events such as MotoGP and other world championships. The 851 is still hand-made, and the rearview mirror and headlights with rich personality are transplanted from Paso. The next generation of 851 is 888, which means the overall revival of Ducati Company in the late 198s. Its sports version, 888SPO, won the world championship of super motorcycle three times. However, 888, which was in the limelight, failed to keep its honor for long, and it was soon overshadowed by the more powerful 916. Ducati's 916 released in 1994 is regarded as an epoch-making revolutionary work, which is the pinnacle in terms of appearance, style, performance and control. The media all over the world did not hesitate to give it the reputation of "Best Motorcycle of the Year". 916 not only won the honor of "world classic car", but also established Ducati's position in the field of super sports cars, which won numerous laurels in the world super motorcycle competition.

Although the 916 is excellent, the super motorcycles in Ducati are still developing, such as 996 and 998, until the hot 999 series is launched. They are impeccable in aerodynamics and visual effects; The number of parts of 999 was reduced by 23, about 3%, by means of simplifying parts and adopting the wiring system of automobile specifications. The complexity of the integrated line is reduced, which is beneficial to the maintenance of locomotives.

naked streetcar series:

naked Monster series

In addition to sports motorcycles, in 1993, a designer from Argentina, MiguelGalluzzi, found a new way to design a unique series of monsters, which was welcomed by the market unprecedentedly, and relieved Ducati from the financial crisis.

the design features of Galluz are very distinctive: all the trimmings and unimportant parts are removed to make a naked and pure motorcycle, which is the famous Monster9.

Expanded Motorcycle Team: ST Series for Leisure Tourism

In 1998, Ducati introduced a brand-new motorcycle model-ST2, which is aimed at leisure tourism, by taking advantage of the rapid trend of sports and tourism motorcycles around the world.

Ducati Desmo valve control technology

Engineers in Ducati adopted two rocker arms when designing the valve: one rocker arm presses down to open the valve, which has the same function as the principle of closing the valve with a spring; The other rocker arm pulls the valve up and closes it. The advantage of controlling the valve in this way is that it avoids the problem that the valve is not closed properly due to insufficient spring rebound when the engine is at high speed. This valve control technology is popular in all Ducati models, including the current Ducati models.

V-shaped twin-cylinder became the symbol of victory

Around 197s, the love for large-displacement motorcycles began to spread, which was not only liked by Americans, but also became more and more popular in Europe. In Imola, Italy, Francisco, the promoter of motorcycle racing? FrancescoCosta decided to bring the competition to his hometown. After betting all his savings, Costa began to organize a competition in April 1972. Costa expected this competition to be a model for all future competitions, so he considered the details very carefully and took safety precautions, so he became the first competition organizer in Europe to introduce colorful rider clothing.

this is the first time that Ducati has the opportunity to prove its strength in its own country: to show the performance of the new model to the world on the circular track. At this time, Ducati began to produce the first batch of racing cars 75 with Desmo twin-cylinder engines. They used brand-new 4mm carburetor and accelerator pump to provide fuel, and got the maximum power of 6kW at 9rpm. In addition, the net weight of the whole vehicle is only 163 kg, and the 75 can reach the top speed of 25 km/h. However, at that time, Ducati didn't set up a racing team for this class of motorcycles, so the first task was to find the best racer. They found Paul? PaulSmart. Another driver called by Ducati for the imola race is Bruno? Giani, who has been racing and testing the performance of vehicles for Ducati for a long time, has a deep understanding of the circular track in imola.

at present, the SBK competition is monopolized by five teams: Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki. Since the 1st SBK was officially held in 1988, it has been successfully held for 17 sessions, among which Ducati Team topped the list with 12 championships, and maintained the first overall ranking in 1991-1996 and 1998-23, only in 1997, Honda stole the limelight. Ducati can achieve such excellent results in the Super Motorcycle Championship, except that it promotes the competitive spirit of the venue and has a team of horses with excellent performance and good at fighting, and its talented drivers also contribute.

MotoGP Competition in Ducati

As a super motorcycle championship (SBK) that dominated the world for a long time, Ducati returned in 23, after 3 years' absence from GP Competition. At that time, Ducati team and Kawasaki team made their debut together, and the complicated and changeable arena immediately surged. Ducati, Honda and Yamaha were regarded as the most powerful competitors to win the championship. Ducati's team, gearing up for the GP competition, first selected elite racers Kabirosi and Barris, and then brought in Marlboro, a big sponsor, and brought a new GP racing car. These racing cars use L-shaped water-cooled engines, with a maximum speed of 17, rpm.

Although Honda was still the winner in the GP Competition in 23, Ducati's performance was unanimously recognized. In 24 GP Competition, Ducati, Honda and Yamaha were still the most powerful teams to win the championship.

Looking back at the history of Ducati, it's like watching a Ducati motorcycle galloping around the world. From V-engine to Desmodromic valve control technology, from tubular frame to elaborate suspension system, from TT contest to GP contest, Ducati made the venue more exciting and the competition more intense. The spirit of the track has always been a tradition that Ducati has never lost, and now it is even more carried forward. From dominating the SBK circuit to fighting in the GP competition, Ducati's track spirit has been fully revived and become an unstoppable spiritual banner!
