"OTHER" Non-Suzuki pics

[GelandeStrasse]

Not mine anymore but great fun on it this summer. I bought it as shown so credit goes to the guy who put it together. It's a 60's bicycle with a bolt on Chinese built 50cc gas motor. Cool eh

Didn't that say Cagiva on it originally?

No, the Ducati 907IE did not say Cagiva on the bodywork anywhere from the factory. Only the Paso of similar earlier design (years 87-90) but with 16" front wheels and carbureted motor. However, they were a very different animal although they all used the famed Desmodromic valve train.

"IE" on the side decal stands for "Injection Electronic". Ducati was among the first in the world to successfully use fuel injection on a production sport motorcycle when they designed the 888/851 and 907 motors. This time period was the reemergence of Ducati as a dominant force in World Superbike that has lead to Ducati's popularity to this day.

The 907IE is the sport touring version of the 888 Superbike with a 900cc liquid cooled, fuel injected motor. It has the 888 Superbike motor with 6 speed transmission but with a more civil 2 valve per cylinder head as opposed to the race bikes 4 valve head. The 907 was produced 1991-1993.

Cagiva bought Ducati in 1985, but kept the Ducati name that was better recognized outside Italy. Ducati motorcycle production continued in Bologna, while the Varese-built Cagiva Ala Azzurra (sold under the name "Alazzurra") and Elefant were introduced, both featuring Ducati engines.

Cagiva continued with strategic buyouts of Moto Morini in 1985 and Husqvarna in 1987. In 1991 Cagiva also bought the trademarks for the MV Agusta brand.
In 1996, the Ducati and Moto Morini brands were sold to Texas Pacific Group.

That bike is what i was think of when I started this thread. Although I am entrenched into the Suzuki GS bikes AND this forum that Frank started way back whenecvr..I thought that many of us had all kinds of stuff sitting around and I thought it would be cool to see them.

It doesnt matter if it half done , half there...whatever. Wipe the dust off ( or not if it adds petina) and show the world what you have stuffed in the back of the barn. Who knows, someone may see it and you can make a few bucks off some parts. I like that bicycle conversion. My older brother had a real early model Whizzer that got stolen.

Loaded on the trailer headed home

Here is an RD200 I owned for three years, but just sold it last week. It is my thought it's one of the nicest bikes Yamaha ever designed. The seat was modified but otherwise a stock machine.

No,it didn't

The Paso series were all Ducatis and came out long after the Cagiva Allazura

My GPz and Ducati

I thought it was a big bore Paso. I forgotten that the 907IE was liquid cooled. They were able to do a lot with that 500 Pantah motor over the decades.

It is neat, anyway. I believe that HD was using Weber Marelli FI back in those days, which the 907IE probably used.

Cagiva did own Ducati from 1985 to 1996. They used a Weber two barrel on the 750 and 906 Pasos. No doubt FI was better than that. My neighbor had a weber carb Ducati in the day. He paid a ton of money for a Malozzi Delortto kit.

A pal of mine had a first year 750, put a set of mikuni carbs and some bub mufflers on it. Really woke it up...

here is the wifes 77 400f that i painted this summer, It was candy red new but she really liked yellow so i splashed it in 77 vette yellow and added the orig for red decals,i like it and its a great little bike that we have had for 20 plus years. the carbs have never been opened and it still fires right up like a fuel injected bike would. after riding her new 09 Triumph street triple for a year she missed her old Honda so i spruced her up a bit and she put about 1500 miles on it this summer so it has turned a whopping 16000 from new.
