1956 - 1959 Ducati 125 DESMO
With the Desmodromic valve system in 1956, Ducati single cyclinders reached the height of their development. In this sense, the 125 Triple Camshaft Desmo marks the first truly recognizable Ducati. Its creation was a defining moment in the history of motorcycle engineering.
