Was browsing collecting some drool-maal (wallpapers for screensaver) on the Duati Site (http://www.ducati.com/) when I hit upon several lovely images of the Ducati 'L'-twin engines. I was left with some mouth watering images and thought will share some of them with you guys!
These engines are an adaptation of the commonly known 'V'-twins because one cylinder lies horizonatally flat (like the Hero Honda CD-100/Splendor engine) while the other is vertical. The 'V' angle being obtuse the vertical cylinder is tilted backwards.
Some of the legendary Desmo and Testastretta engines.
So here are some sample images. Do visit the links below form some greater images with text to accompany it. Check out the multi-Valve and Dual Spark heads!
