The bike has a 5-speed, manual transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multi-disc, manual.
Chassis
It came with a 3.25-18 front tire and a 3.50-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual 256mm discs in the front and a single 257mm disc in the rear.

1978 Ducati 500GTV
Unlike its 500GTL sibling, the 1977 Ducati 500GTV has been designed for superior performance, instead of comfort. It sports an air-cooled, four-stroke, 497cc, parallel twin cylinder powerhouse mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Standard fittings include a chromed, dual exhaust system, Borrani cast-aluminum wheels, a plush, dual saddle, an analogue instrument cluster, wide handlebars, a round headlight, front and rear blinkers, a front Marzocchi telescopic fork coupled to dual shocks as a rear suspension, and a Brembo braking system with dual front discs and a single disc in the rear.
