The Ducati 350GTV, a model born from necessity and innovation. Introduced as a non-Desmo version of the 350 Super Sport, it marked the beginning of a new line of bikes that would become a sought-after collector’s item today.
This parallel twin-cylinder engine, with its SOHC configuration and two valves per cylinder, was designed by Bruno Tumidei after Fabio Taglioni rejected the original proposal. The engine was produced in two capacities: 350cc and 500cc, featuring a forged crankshaft with plain big-end bearings but only two main bearings.
Riding the 350GTV is an experience that rewards patience and finesse. With its slightly underpowered character, this bike requires a gentle touch to coax out its best performance. But for those who persevere, the 350GTV offers a unique blend of handling and style that makes it a joy to ride.
The search for a well-maintained 350GTV today is a daunting task due to their rarity, but for those lucky enough to find one, the rewards are immense.
