4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Overview Of Ducati Models,
By
This review is from: Illustrated Ducati and Cagiva Buyer's Guide (Paperback)
One of a series of Osprey motorcycle buyer's guides. I picked this up when contemplating buying a 1980s Mike Hailwood Replica. (I didn't, bad decision!) Coverage is complete for models up to 1990. The advantage of this printing over a later one is fuller coverage of some of the older models. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in exploring Ducatis. It would be five stars, but one of the later printings is better for anything after 1990.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Ducati neophite,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Illustrated Ducati Buyer's Guide (Illustrated Buyer's Guide) (Paperback)
I am perhaps not qualified to judge the value of the book, but find myself going to it for information whenever I contemplate a purchase of a new ducati to add to my stable.
To have any information is better than none when shopping for these machines, only time will tell the value of the information
3.0 out of 5 stars
Great overview of older Ducati models, not the 4 valve models,
By Michael Gregori "Mn Sota" (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrated Ducati Buyer's Guide (Illustrated Buyer's Guide) (Paperback)
I purchased this looking for information on the four valve Ducati superbikes. I thought that this third edition would give some production figures and maybe model features or differences, it didn't. I also thought that a buyer's guide would have serial number information, it does not. It still is a good resource and it even has a chapter on Ducati powered Bimota models.
