The Ducati 851 was a Ducati motorcycle, with liquid cooling and four valve heads, released to the public in 1987. Ducati Motor Holding SpA ( Borsa Italiana: DMH is an Italian Motorcycle manufacturer located in Bologna Italy. MotorCycle is the title of a 1993 album by Rock band Daniel Amos, released on BAI Records. In an Internal combustion engine, the cylinder head sits atop the cylinders and consists of a platform containing part of the Combustion chamber and the Year 1987 ( MCMLXXXVII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link displays 1987 Gregorian calendar) Development had lagged with the continued use of two valve engines, but new funds enabled a technological move forward Ducati needed at the time.

After buying Ducati, Cagiva invested in the development of another V-twin, but with liquid cooling, and four valve desmodromic heads. Cagiva is an Italian Motorcycle manufacturer It was founded in 1950 by Giovanni Castiglioni in Varese, originally producing small metal components Configurations "True V-twin" vs V-2 There is some ambiguity regarding what defines a V-twin which arose from 180 degree "V" engines (see In general mechanical terms the word desmodromic is used to refer to mechanisms that have different controls for their actuation in different directions Massimo Bordi, had designed a 4V Desmo in 1973 for his thesis at the University of Bologna, and with Cagiva in 1985, saw his updated ideas come into production as the Desmoquattro. The University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna UNIBO) is one of the oldest continually operating degree-granting universities in the world
Based on the Pantah motor, but with liquid cooling, fuel injection, and desmodromic four valve heads (with an included valve angle of 40 degrees), the 851 made Ducati race competitive again. Fuel injection is a system for mixing fuel with air in an Internal combustion engine.
The original Desmo Quattro was an experimental 748 cc 4 valve racer (seen at the Bol d'Or in 1986) and used 750 F1 Pantah crankcases. Bordi collaborated with Cosworth to develop the heads, but in the time they had, they were only able to reduce the included valve angle of the desmodromic engine to 40°, while less than 30° was possible with valve springs. Ducati stuck with the desmodromics. [2]
The subsequent 851 road bike had stronger crankcases, while the heads and valves remained the same; designed to fit above the 88 mm bore of a 748 cc version. For the GI Joe character see List of GI Joe ARAH characters. For the Transformers characters see Crankcase (Transformers.
The 1987 – 1988 Ducati 851 Strada used the signature steel tube trellis frame, adorned with Marvic wheels, Brembo brakes and Marzocchi suspension. That first release was criticised for its handling, so front wheel was changed from a 16 inch to a 17 inch wheel, and even better suspension components fitted. [3]
In 1992 the bore was enlarged, thus creating the Ducati 888. [4]
