VS
The 1990 Suzuki VX800 and 1990 Ducati 907IE are both products of the 1990s era, each taking a different approach to two-wheeled excitement.
The 1990 Suzuki VX800 from Japan was powered by a 805cc DOHC V-twin producing 58hp at 7500rpm. Weighing 221.0kg (487 lbs) and with a seat height of 790mm, it was aimed at standard riders.
The 1990 Ducati 907IE, hailing from Italy, by contrast offered 904cc of SOHC L-twin belt power, delivering 80hp at 7500rpm. Tipping the scales at 195.0kg (430 lbs) with a top speed of 210km/h (130 mph), it offered a distinct riding experience. 1990s motorcycles represent peak analog engineering before electronics took over. Original, low-mileage examples are beginning to appreciate.
