This is a history of this famous Italian marque whose following in Britain was given a further boost when British rider Carl Fogarty won the 1994 and 1995 World Superbike Championships on a Ducati 916. The book covers every Ducati racing and production motorcycle from the cheap, post-war Cucciolo to the 916. Every model, from the 125cc grand prix bike through to the 900cc Super Sport is analyzed along with the unique valve gear of Ing. Fabio Taglioni which became a Ducati trademark. Ducati folk heroes such as Mike Hailwood, Tony Rutter and Carl Fogarty are also featured.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book if your interested in Ducati History,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ducati Story: Racing and Production Models from 1945 to the Present Day, 3rd Ed. (Hardcover)
The book is for you if you're interested in the history and development of Ducati's from one model to the next. It also has a fair amount of technical information about how each model varies from the next. What I didn't like was that it had only a few color photos and very little information on more recent models (1995 and up)....

Great general history of Ducati and models,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ducati Story: Racing and Production Models from 1945 to the Present Day (Hardcover)
A very thorough and detailed history of Ducati with a model by model, year by year breakdown. Great to get a general history of Ducati or if you are considering buying one of their bikes. The model specifications at the rear are handy though need to be read in conjunction with the book to get every detail on a particular model in a particular year. Focuses more on the last 20 yrs of Ducati, but could still be considered the definative book on Ducati. A few more pictures would be nice.

Lots of technical information, without getting boring,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ducati Story: Racing and Production Models from 1945 to the Present Day (Hardcover)
I bought this book out of curiosity, and because I am interested in Ducati motorcycles. And I would say that this book fulfills any need for information about Ducati and the story about the bikes and the men behind it. Great book ! Recommended!
