- books?vid=ISBN9780760303634 quote "...according to Mike Berliner: 'What was selling at the time in the United States: Harley Davidson! So in order to show them what we wanted, we sent two Harley-Davidsons to Italy -- one to Ducati, and one to Moto Guzzi.' [...] Joe Berliner commissioned Ducati to design and build this interesting machine, the Ducati-Berliner Apollo. Powered by a 1,260-cc V-4 engine, the Apollo was meant to compete for police and touring customers with the Harley-Davidson big twins. According to the Berliner spec sheet, two versions were to be offered, the 100-horsepower four-carb version and the 80-horsepower two-carb version. Only one prototype and one spare were built. Note the square section downtube, ram-air scoops under the tank, distributors , and the overall Harley mimicry. The Japanese didn't fire the first shot in that war; Ducati did.".
- books?vid=ISBN9780760303634 quote "About the same time as the Apollo production deal fell through, Joe Berliner first set eyes on an interesting new project from his other Italian affiliate. On a visit to the Moto Guzzi factory, Berliner was shown a prototype of the new V700 and realized immediately the possibilities. Before him was a motorcycle that struck an almost perfect balance between the too-massive Harley and the reliable but anemic BMW. To Berliner, it must have seemed that Guzzi engineers had read his mind. He is reputed to have exclaimed, 'Build it for us. Now! ' While Moto Guzzi had no doubt been considering the possibilities of a civilian version of its new military/police prototype, this was just the push the nearly bankrupt company needed to make the civilian V700 a reality.".
