BATTLE OF THE TWINS 1985, VÍDEO

Harley Davidson XR1000 Vs Ducati 750 F1.



Corría el año 1985 y uno de los chicos "malos" del mundo de las motos, Marco Lucchinelli, se presentaba en el circuito de Daytona para defender los colores de Ducati con la nueva 750 F1. Aquel año quedó segundo tras la Harley Davidson XR1000 de Gene Church en una carrera espectacular que se resolvió en las últimas vueltas, donde los 750cc italianos no pudieron con los 1000 de la moto americana. Pero de todo se aprende, y al año siguiente, el excampeón del mundo de 500 (1981), volvió a saltar el charco consiguiendo dos victorias, una en el BOTT de Daytona y otra en Laguna Seca, que convertirían a este modelo en un mito para los amantes de la marca de Borgo panigale, para muchos la última Ducati de verdad.
