The round-case 750 Super Sport was a road-going version of the 1972 Imola-winning racer and the only round-case Ducati V-twin with desmodromic valves. With a rigid frame that used the engine as a stressed member, bare Conti pipes and no air filters, it was fast and raw, and only about 400 were made, which makes it one of the most prized Ducatis.
