That's right - a stroked 750 !
It bucks the modern trend completely, but is in best ducati tradition.
It has the same valve size as the 900, and I believe the cnc machining on the ports is up to latest stanrads too, and with a much more modern cam design, with less overlap and higher lift so you get good mid-range _and_ good top end.
And its lighter then the 900 engine too.
Hmmm, perhaps I should fit one in the beast
