Vee Two Ducati IMOLA EVO - Jay Leno's Garage

[@hubifornia]

I notice that Jay will plop his helmet down on the gas tank of any of his priceless motorcycles but he never does it to any other guys bike. a true gentleman gear head.

[@truthseeker2587]

hubifornia great observation I noticed that detail as well. What a true gentleman he is.

[@rogerturner5504]

Do you know what? If you want a guaranteed smile every day, just pick any of Jay Leno's Garage vids. Each a little tonic for the soul.

[@michaelbarton7737]

Jay, please take no notice of the 2 wheel knockers. 2 wheels, 4 wheels, even 3, the joy we get watching you each week immersing yourself in mechanical nirvana is just fantastic. This week is a particularly good one, although watching from Australia I am a bit biased.

[@5cylfreak]

A 3wheeler (ATC) review and testride would be awesome! But I think he´s not the guy for dirt tracks.

[@TechGaming45]

The only 3 wheeler I know is a robin reliant..

[@5cylfreak]

google for Honda ATC, Yamaha Tri Z, Kawasaki KXT These 3wheeler were quite popular in the USA. In the rest of the world (like for me; Germany) they quite rare!

[@TechGaming45]

Thanks.

[@michaelbarton7737]

Surely Jay has a Morgan tucked away somewhere in a corner of his garage. And a while back he did a test drive of a Campagna Motors T-REX from Canada.

[@erichakanson7010]

as much as I love the idea behind ARCH motorcycles (the keanu reeves bike) I'd take this over the ARCH every day of the week. a bespoke motorcycle that replicates one of the coolest ducati's ever with better, safer materials and its less expensive? who wouldn't want this bike! thanks to jay and especially to Vee Two for keeping these wonderful, soulful bikes alive.

[@Robbievigil]

Eric Hakanson ARCH is out of reach $ for the working man. These are definitely plausible.

[@erichakanson7010]

Robbie Vigil Alan Cathcart, the father of Andrew Cathcart (Jay mentioned it) is an awesome motorcycle journalist who did a terrific piece on this bike in the January '17 issue of Motorcycle Classics magazine. Highly recommended.

[@gr7485]

I'd have to agree with you. The ARCH is interesting but I'd much rather be riding this Vee Two.

[@IETCHX69]

Arch is a joke . An expensive joke . An extra 6 thou to say , Canoe Reeve MAY have looked at it !

Motorcycles are like music, there are a ton of different styles, one style is no better than the other, they are just different to suit different people's tastes.

[@simongeeves9662]

currently I'm sitting in a residence 2min walk from the Ducati factory in Borgo Panigale. I'm Australian watching the legend Jay Leno test ride a Ducati replica hand made down under. Words can't describe how proud I am. Good on ya VeeTwo and long live the desmo! Hands down the best Jay Leno's Garage episode yet.

[@claireevergreen6941]

the old rumble of this engine can only be truly appreciated when you're in person. The mics really don't pick up how these engines thunder down the road. Great Bike, great show. Well done Aussies

[@jackprick9797]

That’s gotta be but even so, listening to it over my BT speaker, well, this is the best sounding motorcycle engine i’ve ever heard. Just fantastic! Hmmm. Just now realizing this comment is 5yrs old. Where have I been?

[@perfectlylonely]

I can feel the love. I smiled for the entire 20 minutes.

[@daveg4495]

These V2's are what a perfect motor cycle is! Perfect! I want one, too poor to own one, but glad they are being built. Thank you!

[@vizio32]

The fifteen people that gave this video a thumbs down, obviously have never ridden a motorcycle. They do not know how to appreciate some one with passion about motorcycles like Jay. Keep them coming Jay!!!!!!

[@SimplyTakuma]

mario calito I agree with that. People are people.

[@BuzzLOLOL]

They prolly thumbed it down because Jay 2:44 - 3:50 still doesn't understand how desmodromic valve mechanism works! Jay thinks it works by "bevels", but bevel gears are the gears shown used to merely right angle the drive shaft and camshaft... and is also used for non-desmo OHC Ducati engines... desmodromic works by rocker arms (not "gears" ) that both open and close the valves... relying on tiny valve springs to only hold the valves fully sealed closed...

[@samueladams1775]

Probably Harley riders lol.

[@gregorytimmons4777]

@@samueladams1775 My thought exactly. Amazing that some people can convince themselves that only one brand of bike has any merit whatsoever to the total lack of appreciation for anything concerning any other brand.

[@montycrain5783]

It's the Desmodromic valve actuation that eliminates the valve float since it has no valve springs that actuate on the valve. The bevel drive is for cam timing accuracy.

[@VndNvwYvvSvv]

And for the desmo. A pushrod won't do it.

[@frankbutaric3565]

I own the Ducati darmah. Desmodromic valve actuation used to be the thing but now we have engines that reliably rev. to 14k rpm with no issues. The bevel drive is a left over from aircraft engines. Highly complex to set up. Chains and belts do a better job only cheaper. The bevel twins almost put Ducati in bankruptcy due to high cost of manufacture. I love the bevel ducks but the new stuff is infinitely better.

[@toddposton869]

This! I was going to say the same exact thing.

[@toddposton869]

I own several Desmodromic Dicatis, and changing belts every 2 years/12k miles gets old fast. This system has an advantage here.

[@CoreyGolphenee]

[@69100leegrant]

It is a proud moment when individuals put so much effort into their dreams and have their work recognised. Jay is such a gracious host and so supportive of the motoring community. Good stuff USA from Australia.

[@bodsfo]

Simply beautiful! The Australian version of David Kay and his MV replicas... with the extra "resto-mod" flair. A glimpse of their workshop, where these beauties are born, would have been great..

[@BillLeavens]

I was fortunate to own one of the first valve spring 750 GTs. It was rough and raggedy but it had a soul and a big heart. And I probably never should have sold it. What a machine! Paul, if you are reading this, let me have just one more ride.

[@mikevale3620]

I'm not even a bike guy and I wasn't going to watch this weeks programme, however the Aussie connection grabbed me and Jays enthusiasm and his enquiring about the different aspects of the bike was contagious. Moreover, you don't have to be a bike fan to know a great sounding engine when you hear one.

[@jarekrider]

I love Hemmingway, he remembered to tell us how it felt; to fear or love or hate or taste. When I watch your love for all things mechanical and ridable, I too can feel the vibrations and 'taste' the ride. Thank you, J,

[@pointlessgimmickyusername9196]

Jesus, that exhaust note! Such a beautiful bike. I've been rewatching old JLG videos, and I have to say, it's such an awesome channel. The variety of bikes and cars, new and vintage, low-buck and high end, stock, custom, racing, factory concepts, etc. And (not trying to sound like a suck-up, but...) I'm constantly impressed by how well Jay knows the technical aspects and history of the vehicles, his obvious, authentic passion, and his generosity in sharing his insane collection with the rest of us, and his genuine, down to earth approach Personally, I love the vintage cars and bikes, and pretty much anything custom, but I;m pretty sure I've watched every video on the channel at least once by now, and loved them all.The passion for design and engineering, an the knowledge of history that Jay brings makes them all fascinating. (/gushing fanboy-ism over)

[@mikeopo]

Back in 1977 when Cycle magazine tested the Ducati 750SS, they found an Italian fly on the tank stuck under the painting most probably caught during the spraying process. May be the fly in the fuel level stripe on this bike is a tribute to that :)

when they started it up I got goosebumps all over, and the sound of the clutch, bellissimo, divino

[@steveharvey4036]

Brook an Australian Legend, even 5 years after this vid - bike looks so so good. Having owned a 70's 860cc Ducati I can relate to the machine being as Jay described. Aaaweesome

[@3ducs]

Beautiful bike! The 900 air cooled Ducs are my favorites. Torque, sound, light weight. Sweet in the 3500-5500 rpm range, I used to ride mine on NH backroads, so nice to just use the torque for acceleration and braking, relaxed and quick enough.

[@battleax002]

I really enjoy the motorcycle episodes, Jay talks to the camera like a buddy showing you cool toys in his garage. Very engaging. One thing though, at the first when Jay is talking about the bevel drive, he confuses bevel cam drive with the advantages of a Desmo valve actuation. Not that I could do any better. The videos are interesting, diverse and gets a normal schmuck to dreaming about cool vehicles.

[@lornespry]

Thanks for your comment. I was set to wondering what he was talking about when he described the bevel drive and then got on to valve float, which as you infer was solved by the desmodromic head. It directly pushed and pulled and valves to open and close.

[@giuseppecochi5020]

Lorne Spry yes indeed, there are 2 cam lobes, one which opens it, and the other follows up to close to eliminate the valve bounce, a system that Ducati still use, Recently Claudio Domenicali the CEO was asked why they still use it as now days with improved designs and materials there are other solutions, he answered , yes that’s true but the desmodromic system is what we know best and it works! It does increase the maintenance cost though but thankfully on my Multistrada the Desmo service is only required every 30k Kim’s, just done the first one

[@antoniovillanueva308]

When I was a kid the cool guy down the street had a Ducati. Hearing that sound brought back a very strong image from 40 years ago. That is a delicious sound.

[@janosmolnar1]

I love it how jay talks about cars and bikes with the same enthusiasm . Jay is like the David Attenborough of anything that has an engine and moves

[@travishaynes8319]

I'm so thankful I live in a country where I can watch more fortunate people enjoy their toys and live life to the fullest!

[@thejerseyj1636]

Down to earth and as real as a person can be. You gotta love this guy, thank you Jay for the best show anywhere. PS, I'm a biker and I was drooling over this baby.

[@aidanB.]

Ah yes.Sports Motor Cycles Ltd. Kensal House, Liverpool Road, Manchester, 3. I spent many a happy hour drooling over the bikes. I bought my Laverda Alpino 500 S there in 1978. (I still have all my service receipts on original stationary if you're interested Jay, but I don't suppose you read the comments, or ARE interested. lol) Went to watch Mike at the TT the next year. Loved the Ducati. Love your channel.

[@micmac1121]

I'm a East Coast rider . I have my best riding brotherS move out West in 1999. I bring it up because we started doing week long rides out west. I've done at least 20,000 miles out West. Here's what I love about Jay. Every ride we ever did started at LAX and than through the canyons stopping at the world famous biker spot "the Rock Store. Two times I showed up, I met Jay Leno. I watched him on a Vincent that was leaking oil and wouldn't start. I watched him run and bump start a machine that wouldn't start. It did when he bump started it. No help no one pushing him. I saw Jay a second time,same location. This time on a jet engine bike! Ran on jet fuel and built in France people asked,how far can you go it? Jay says, depends of how fast you go! Jay is the real deal. No back up crew. No cameras, that man rides and lives the Motörhead dream. He's the real deal!

[@brianhowald2995]

Great episode. Jay's enthusiasm for bikes as well, is something I've always enjoyed and feel sets him apart. I still remember when a guest on the Tonight show was telling hi how a bike she was doing a shoot on or, something, fell over and got damaged. If I remember right, Jay said, "What? You didn't throw yourself under it? C'mon, flesh can be repaired." I knew then there was a guy of a like mind.

[@iain6167]

Excellent show. Admittedly, I'm Australian and a biker so I loved it. That green framed model was beautiful. More bike shows please.

[@williamjohonson5459]

The reason for the window on the rear cyl was a racing tool these engines use monograde oils and take longer to warm up , so when you start the bike the window fills up with oil once it reaches working temperature the oil drains away , now you can go racing !

[@Mirzadon007]

[@truthseeker8483]

It's not actually the bevel gear drive that does the desmodronic valve control it just drives it. Modern Desmos have belt drives. Thanks for showing the Vee Two Ducati a masterpiece!

[@daveverdonschot7956]

TRUTH SEEKER indeed... it is the desmo system that was first used by Mercedes and then used by ducati... the latest desmo's are chain drive, i believe. but the bevel drive is the most estaticaly pleasing timing system to me.

[@truthseeker8483]

Dave Verdonschot The Desmo part is the two rocker arms and two cams for each valve one set for opening and one for opening the valve removing the need for a spring. Whether it is driven by a Bevel gear, chain or belt drive makes no difference...although i like Bevel gear the best, I had a 900ss years ago and miss it a lot. The sound from those Conti silencers is great.

[@peoplehavetherights]

TRUTH SEEKER Had a silver and blue '78, 40's and Contis. Too bad steering head was welded an inch offset from center, steering was wonky.

[@truthseeker8483]

peoplehaverights Was the steering head welded offset from the factory by mistake? The 78 models were about the best I think apart from quality control maybe?

[@peoplehavetherights]

TRUTH SEEKER According to Jim Woods, who was the Ducats and Guzzi dealer in the late 70's to mid 80s, it was a factory screw-up. Curiously I never had problem one with the electrics, and it always fired on second kick, but the handling was so odd I didn't keep it for long. Wish I HAD bought the 750SS an acquaintance of mine offered me, though, including original paint on frame and all the fibreglass. :-(

[@Commiefornia]

Just beautiful! The looks AND the sounds! Modern Ducatis don't have the symphony of sounds like the vintage Ducatis do.

[@horsterer77]

Probably my favourite bike of all times, and they make it better and even more beautiful ! Very tastefully done , imho .

[@luminda5444]

[@21cdartmouthian]

Man when you cracked the throttle in the garage it just growled like it was saying road time. Thanks Jay.

[@Engineerd3d]

I am not one to enjoy the bike episodes, but when I saw the title I had to watch it. I love the sound of a ducati, any age including the bb's in a glass jar. For whatever reason ducati makes the proper sound for a bike. Enjoyed every second of it. Thank you Jay for sharing with us, you are right. Building an engine from scratch is equivalent to a guy giving birth. Sometimes the gestation of said baby takes years too and will make a guy queasy when he thinks about said engine. :)

[@tedzehnder961]

It doesn`t take brains to give birth and gestation takes nine months.

[@MJMonroe]

Jay seems to be in love with this bike! He is thoroughly impressed!

[@SatansSpatula]

Now *this* is what I want to see. Not like so many "custom" bike builders who just bolt together mail-ordered parts and send it off to a paint shop! It's amazing that they've obtained the rights and molds and are building improved replica engines.

[@markr5132]

I'm so thrilled to discover these last several video's how much Jay is a huge motorcycle rider/enthusiast! I thought he was a car guy and just bought and tooled around on vintage motorcycles for the love of history and the appreciation of their mechanical & historical appeal. However he is a big time motorcycle enthusiast from way back! Awesome Jay! I have a bug as well down to 13 vintage bikes including Ducati 900SS, Bultaco's Etc..

[@rick-hm3ji]

Jay - as always, great video. Like others, am real appreciative of your willingness to give your time up to share all of these wondrous vehicles from and at your shop. Great production values too. One point of discussion: you highlighted the bevel gear aspect of the valve gear train, which is definitely eye candy, but the real aspect of the gear train meant to deal with the valve spring metallurgy weaknesses of the time was the desmodromic technology. As you are no doubt aware, this involves mechanical valve closing via an additional set of cam followers. Slip of the tongue or intentional so as not to confuse the non cognoscenti with too much info? Again, thanks for the numerous awesome videos.

[@harrisla123456]

Honestly, if you were to buy one, you should try both modern and classic bikes.
