From Ducati's sporting single-cylinder bikes of the 1950s to today's high-performance sportbikes, celebrate eight decades of performance with this revised and updated edition.

Despite Ducati's legendary status, its motorcycle manufacturing began modestly, selling motorised bicycles to struggling residents of post-World War II Italy. Today, Ducati is a premier manufacturer of high-performance street motorcycles whose recent sales success has pushed annual revenue beyond the billion-Euro mark. Its svelte, hyper-performance sportbikes are two-wheeled wonders combining cutting-edge technology and gorgeous design.

The Complete Book of Ducati Motorcycles Third Edition details the Italian company's amazing story via every model from 1946 to 2026. Author and Ducati expert Ian Falloon offers motorcycle enthusiasts a detailed review of these extraordinary motorcycles. Brought to life with historic and contemporary photographs, plus technical specifications for each model, the book features every production model from Ducati's storied history, including:

  • Sporting singles of the 1950s and '60s
  • The groundbreaking 750 GT and desmodromic 750 Super Sport
  • The iconic Mike Hailwood Replica
  • The stunning, Superbike-dominating 888, 916, and 999
  • Today's hip Scrambler, epic Panigale superbike, and best-selling Multistrada

This information-packed, fully illustrated volume is a must-have for all Ducatisti.
