Yesterday
It’s March 1995 and Vee Two’s 750 blue rocket blitzes the field to take the pre-75 Formula 750 title at Daytona. And this was no last gasp victory either, it was a thrashing.
In a race notoriously hard on bikes and riders, the Formula 750 event usually makes for some of the closest racing at Daytona’s Speed Week. But lap after lap Vee Two’s bevel drive 750 relentlessly pulled away from all the much fancied ex–works Hondas, Triumphs and Ducatis. It was more of a parade than a race.
BUT the real eye catching performance, the one that made everyone sit up and take notice, was a piped at the post third in the big one – The Battle of the Twins! That’s third on a 1973 bike with narrow wheels and treaded tyres, against 1994 Ducati 916’s with 8 valves, water cooling and huge slicks!!!!
The team at Vee Two were justifiably proud of their result, Proud that 15 years of continuous development had proved, beyond all doubt, that our claim “we build the fastest and most reliable bevel drive engines in the world” was confirmed for all to see.
From this and other less publicised results, Vee Two has been highly regarded as one of the most sought after and effective after market performance enhancers for Ducati Motorcycles.
Vee Two’s products are the result of many years of research and development, which along the way have also led to a WORLD BEARS title and numerous prestigious race and series wins for Vee Two and their customers.
These customers realise that all Vee Two products are far more than replacement parts. Vee Two completely redesigns and manufactures Ducati parts using current metallurgy and the latest state of the art CNC machines. Vee Two parts have finer tolerances, are manufactured using improved materials and offer far greater performance parameters, as well as being longer lasting, more durable and competitively priced and backed by Vee Two’s warranty.
Today
Early in 2005, Vee Two embarked on a project with Australian Technology Group Pty Ltd (ATG) subsidiary company, Sprintex, to develop a supercharger kit for Harley Davidson’s new V Rod.
Very quickly ATG saw the benefits of a marriage between Vee Two Australia and Sprintex under the ATG banner.
The deal was completed and by late 2005 the Harley Davidson V Rod kit was ready for production and receiving strong interest from both National and International markets.
& Tomorrow
Not one to forget its core business and loyal customers, Vee Two, buoyed by its merger with ATG, is in the process of a major investment to consolidate and expand its Ducati parts manufacturing and distribution business.
August 2006 saw Vee Two and Sprintex move into a new, purpose built facility with new CNC machines, automatic lathes and associated custom made tooling added to the equipment list.
Customers will be pleased that the merger with ATG and the new factory will give the Vee Two team the time, resources and infrastructure needed to further develop and expand Vee Two’s already impressive product line and consolidate itself as a market and race leader.
