    Italian bikes are the absolute pinnacle . Back then bikes were real, not like the plastic point and squirt toys today.

    I've been lucky enough to own the Ducati and a the Guzzi LeMans... the original 850 with no Mk number..both so called super bikes of their day. A memory of my youth....

      I was living in Rome when these motorbikes were produced ..... Needless to say I loved those days. Classic Italian cars everywhere and astonishing bikes. Laverda, Benelli, Moto-Morini and Duatis had many more clever and smaller bikes though. These may be the better known high end ones that everybody has heard about, but there were so many more.

    @tinymonster9762 Рік тому +10

    Wow!
    For me the original Ducati 750SS Desmo is one of the most beautiful bikes ever. Paul Smart and Cook Neilson showed how fast they were too. The early 900 Desmo and 750 Sport are up there as well. I have always been smitten by the Mk1 Guzzi LeMans, lovely lean thing with poise and aggressive stance.
    I had two Mk2 Guzzi LeMans over the years, a Ducati 250 Desmo back in 1979, a Ducati 860GT and latterly a Ducati 748. Always fancied a Benelli 750 six.
    I’m not big enough for a Jota, but I was friends with the Laverda Owners Club and got to ride out with a great formation of the things a couple of times…forty or so of those with the taps open is quite an experience!

    What a great list - saved the best 'til last!
    Went from learning on an early air cooled RD250 - to a Le Mans MkII.
    Was very fortunate to also have had a couple of Monzas, a Lario and later a V7, but you can't beat the note from the 850 with a set of Lafranconis - absolutely sublime.

    I own a Le Mans II. But I miss the Cagiva Elefant 750 or 900. Both have Ducati engines. Anf the Ducati 916. (from the time Cagiva owned Ducati and saved the company by launcing the 916 and Monster) And 916 was a bike that changed the design of the whole MC-industry.

    The firt two, the MV and the 900 Duke are nice but my favourite bike from those manufacturers were the MV Agusta 750 S with that gorgeous red seat and tank paintjob and the orange painted round case 750 Sport Ducati that came out in about 1973.

    Yes I owned a Ducati 900 Darmah, modified with twin spot fairing, it was as fast as my friends 900SS at lest touring very fast across Europe. Rode my friends Laverda Jota, magnificent Beast, very high centre of gravity, the guys that won races on these were heros. Prefer the Ducati. Rode another friends Gussi Le mans, Nice but felt soft. My real favorite Gussi was the V7 750, in black with diagonal red stripe, so beutiful. The MV, I never rode one but in the 80s I was looking for a bike, and there was one second hand in the local shop. Stunningly beutiful, all the mystique. I should have bought it BUT £3000 (if my memory is good) I was Mr Sensible', for the same money I bought the first of the VF1000 Hondas (another Story, no regrets). Now the Benelli, beutiful, saw the pictures, but so rare, I don't think I ever saw one in real life.

      I agree with you that Moto Morini 3 1/2 is missing, but I made a video about classic Italian "superbikes" and that's the reason why Morini is not mentioned. Cheers!

  • @antoniog.z.4372
    @antoniog.z.4372 Рік тому

    Thanks for the video. I agree with the MV Agusta, the Ducati 900SS and the MG 850 Le Mans I, but would replace the JOTA for the Ducati 750 (round engine) and the Sei 750 for anything other than a copy of a Honda engine, probably for one MG 750 V7, S, or S3 with MG combined braking system.

      Because Count Agusta did not want his customers to go racing. So he insisted on a bulky and heavy shaft drive to be fitted to the bike in order to deter any would be racers.
