| 説明 | 2014 Burt Munro Challenge (Invercargill) November (Wyndham Street Races Sunday 30th November 2014 10am)The Ducati Darmah is in all respects a thoroughbred motor cycle in the best tradition of the great Italian manufacturers. Named after a fictional tiger, the Darmah does have something of a tiger quality with its effortless power and agility. The power unit of the bike is a 900 vee-twin engine mounted longitudinally in' the frame with the rear cylinder offset to the right of the front. Like the other large Ducat's, it has a capacity of 863.9CC but only the 900SS shares the same desmodromic valve system, as designed by famous race-engine builder Fabio Taglioni. Although not as well endowed with horsepower as some Japanese bikes, the 65-yobhp put out by the engine has to power considerably less weight than the competitors, so performance is not that far behind. Top speed is just on H5mph, while a standing start quarter mile takes just over I3secs. As with all big Ducat's, fuel consumption is excellent, being between 45-5ompg most of the time. Where the bike does score over opponents is' in the handling and road-holding sector of performance for, with light weight, good balance and a sturdy frame, this bike is just about the quickest on a twisty road. Like Vincent, Ducati use the engine as an integral part of the frame with the front downtubes bolting on to the bottom of the crankcase, having the cylinders one behind the other makes the bike narrow so that the handling and roadholding can be exploited to the full. Other now almost standard Italian chassis parts include Brembo discs all round, Ceriani forks at the front and good-looking but expensive Campagnolo wheels. Ducatis have never been the most attractive bikes (except in an engineer's eyes, perhaps), but with Leo Tartarini taking a hand in styling, they have gained a new image. The Darmah features neat tank and tail bodywork which, with subtle striping, look neat and racy. Also, Nippon Denso instruments have been put on to replace the suspect items of older models and an electric starter is there to save the aggravation of kicking the plot into life. The Darmah is the touring version of the famous 900SS which has a 9.5:1 instead of 9.4:1 compression ratio and the option of 40mm instead of 32mm carburettors. With a dolphin fairing less weight by virtue of a manual starter and more power (8obhp is claimed), the 900SS is an unashamed road racer and top of the Ducati range.
