Testastreta S.F.Q......... Hi guys/gals, Excuse my ignorance, but I have another SFQ (Stupid Flippin' (?) Question). What exactly does 'testastreta mean and to which models does it apply? I appreciate it refers to engine design but how? Sorry if I'm being stupid but I'm trying to expand my Ducati knowledge and any advice would be much appreciated. Mike. :rodent: |
narrow head. used from 998s's onwards i think |
Babel fish thinks it means "tight head"!! |
It does mean narrow head |

An Italian Rugby term? |
Thought it was 996R onwards :puzzled: |
996R was the first..........but it was 998cc's. The 'stretta uses narrower valve angles, completely different cam/rocker design/arrangement and now sits atop all the new 4V bikes. |
I see (I think). So it doesn't apply to any 74* series Ducs? Mike :rodent: |

Yes the 749 does. Reminds me of my Ducati dealer this topic, I took my 748 down there and was chatting about it because it was the first time I'd ever owned such a thing, talk about a sales pitch, telling me that the Stretta was a "proper" Ducati engine :puzzled: Last time I looked so was the Quattro [Edited on 15-9-2005 by 748IOM] |
