BOOK REVIEW

The Complete book of ducati Motorcycles

The strapline for this 280-page tome is ‘Every model since 1946,’ and that’s really all you need to know. Ian Falloon’s latest Ducati title (and he has written a few) is an updated second edition and covers every single Ducati model ever made, from the very first Cucciolo T1 (a bolt-on engine for cyclemotors) to the 2022 Panigale V4 and the DesertX.

What it doesn’t do is give an in-depth assessment of milestone bikes like the first desmo L-twin or the 916, nor Ducati’s troubled corporate background, the brushes with bankruptcy and changes of ownership. Instead, it’s a proper gazeteer of all the Ducatis large and small – once you’ve looked up your favourite of the lot, you’ll get a lot of pleasure browsing through and reading about the others, with pictures and specs on most of them.

Hate to use a book reviewer’s cliché, but this one’s a must for Ducati fans.
