I think it refers to valves per cylinder. The 916 series used to have the word desmoquattro on some years.

Definitely refers to two valves per cylinder. My 750 Sport has "Desmodue" decals - I reckon it should be allowed to enter the DSC Desmodue race series! :D

If we are going to play that game I know where there is a nice TT2 I could borrow-it's a 2 valve 600cc Ducati so should be allowed-someone called Fogarty used to ride it.............:devil:
