Keith Noakes, Motorcycle Road and Racing Chassis, Veloce
|
The Ducati 500 GP racer and the 750 cc production bike were developed more or less concurrently through 1970-71. Both bikes followed the V twin format and Colin Seeley was contracted to design the racer chassis, shown above. The racer apparently worked quite well but when the production 750 was introduced in 1972, the Seeley frame design was abandoned for a new in-house design (below). Interesting to compare the two and wonder if was this a "not invented here" situation?
