Ducati 750 F1

Ducati 750 F1: "DUCATI 750 F1

I’m a sucker for the endurance racer look, especially if twin headlamps are involved. And this is one of the best examples I’ve seen for a long time. It’s owned by Gregory Rathe, and there’s an interesting history behind it. In 1985, Ducati made a replica of its Pantah-based TT racers called the 750 F1. Around 1,500 were made, and won acclaim for their streamlined design and exceptional handling."

Le 10 moto elettriche migliori al mondo

The best 10 electric bikes in the world.

Mentre ancora in Italia si perde tempo per mettere in regola tutte le infrastrutture necessarie all’avvento dei mezzi elettrici nelle nostre strade, nel mondo continua ad allargarsi la produzione di moto elettriche. Molte sono state prodotte in casa, in un piccolo garage con pochi attrezzi. Altre invece sono passate attraverso un’importante catena di montaggio.

Quella che vi proponiamo oggi è una classifica, stilata da GreenMe, delle 10 moto elettriche migliori prodotte finora in tutto il mondo. Si parte dalla più esclusiva, la Neiman Marcus Mission One, un gioiello da 75′000$, utilizzabile solo in pista e con una velocità di oltre 240 km/h e un’autonomia di 250km. La seconda è la più veloce finora, la Killa Cycle, prodotta in Colorado da una ragazza appassionata, che ha raggiunto la velocità di 285 km/h.
