The Complete Book of Ducati Motorcycles, 2nd Edition by Ian Falloon Pdf
The Complete Book of Ducati Motorcycles, 2nd Edition updates the story, racing successes, and models offered by Italy’s greatest motorcycle manufacturer.
Ducati stunned the world in 1988 when the struggling, small Italian firm unleashed its Desmoquattro -- 8-valve, desmodromic -- Superbike. The bike found success on the world's racetracks right from the start. Road-going versions soon carried that success to the general public, proving this design wasn't just another noisy prototype. The Superbikes -- 748, 851, 888, 916, and 996 -- are now Ducati's best-selling machines in the United States; and the Desmoquattro engine found its way into the company's more pedestrian series such as the Monster roadster and ST4 sport-tour. This is the comprehensive volume on Ducati's ultimate performance motorcycles and replaces the out-of-print Ducati Super Bikes: 851, 888, 916.
Ducati is the gold standard of motorcycles, and fans of the brand will enjoy this full-throttle tour of the company's most elite models. Known for its high price points and even higher standards of refinement and quality, Ducati stands for prestige and class. From the high-tech Hypermotard to the hyper-horsepower Streetfighter, readers get a virtual ride on some of the coolest bikes ever built while learning about their torque, transmission type, turning radius, and other specs, details only a true gearhead could love.
Ducati 1098/1198: The Superbike Redefined tells the story of the development of the most powerful and charismatic Ducati Superbikes the perspective of the designers, stylists, engineers, and managers.

Working with the full cooperation of Ducati management, author Marc Cook went behind the scenes at Ducati in Bologna and extensively interviewed designers, engineers, fabricators, and other personnel who describe the extraordinarily sophisticated and complex process of bringing out this new model.
Paul Ritter's autobiography tells the story of the early days of Superbike racing. Paul shocked the racing community by winning the first AMA pro Superbike race he entered. His account of those days gives readers an up close and personal look into the days when professional racers in the sport were weekend warriors who traveled on shoestring budgets and fueled their bikes with passion and (if they were good) a few dollars of winnings.
The modern Superbike era began in the 1970s, and was long dominated by Italian marques, particularly Ducati's 750 and 900 Super Sport. Since then, Ducati has produced a long series of sporting bikes, several of them among the most desirable motorcycles ever built. In this new all-color history, with the endorsement of Ducati General Manager Ing. Massimo Bordi, Ian Falloon chronicles the evolution of these exciting motorcycles, from the birth of the 750 GT in 1970, through the Super Sports and Mike Hailwood Replicas, and right up to the marque's latest air-oil cooled, fuel-injected models. Includes full production figures and engine and frame numbers. Native Australian Ian Falloon is a freelance motorcycle journalist and photographer. He has been involved with Ducatis for more than 25 years and has written books like MBI's Ducati Twins Restoration Guide. He currently resides in New Zealand.

Introduced at the end of 1993, this product of Massimo Tamburini and the Cagiva Research Centre took the water-cooled four-valve engine of the 851, placing it in an evolutionary chassis with revolutionary styling.

This book will trace the conception and development of the four-valve Ducati from its first appearance at the Bol d’Or in 1986. By 1990 Raymond Roche gave Ducati their first World Superbike Championship, this being followed by Texan Doug Polen. Star British rider Carl Fogarty then took over the reins, and along with Troy Corser and Troy Bayliss dominated the World Superbike Championship from 1994 until 2001. Along with the factory racers, all the related four-valve models will be covered in depth, from the initial 851 and 888, to the 748, ST4 and 996. All the variants, including the Sport Production series, will be detailed, along with the rare and beautiful Supermono. This book is the definitive guide to these legendary Ducati models.
