| Ducati's profilation of this bike | 
  | In the 1970s, sport riders were modifying their street bikes with some of what they saw being used on the race track, like clip-on handlebars, rear set footpegs, and “fast” colours. In the end, motorcycle haunts of the time were filled with individualism and non-conformity expressed in trend-setting styles. The Café Racer style was born. |
