Overview
Ducati 350 SC
The Sport Corsa Desmo 350, and one of just six works machines in existence. Its the machine that introduced the wide case single, a new crankcase design that later found its way into the road bikesand the design that made Taglioni realize that Ducati could develop the single no further. So he effectively stitched two engines together, and created the L-twin layout we know today. On a dyno, a well-tuned SCD 350 will reportedly deliver over 40 horses at the back wheel, a bhp/liter ratio that still passes muster today.
