The Ducati SD Darmah was born in 1976 and was distributed between 1977 and 1981. This road model was a little bit singular inside Ducati sport range. The Darmah is named from an Italain fairy tail tiger; the animal is represented on the bike sides. On a technical level, the engine uses a desmodromic valve, which is characteristic of Ducatis.
This watercolours has been made for the 30 years of the Ducati Club de France (www.desmo-net.com)
