About the Book

Here is a book packed with good advice on how to find and maintain a Desmoquattro twin Ducati. From running costs, through paperwork, vital statistics, valuation – this book shows you exactly what to look for when examining a potential Ducati Desmoquattro purchase. Along with a detailed description of all the individual models, there is a comprehensive condition checklist and guide, plus photos of key areas to check and foibles to be aware of. Also includes info on key specifications and useful upgrades that will enable one of these classic machines to be used on a regular basis, and a guide to the market and value – everything you need to buy the Desmoquattro of your dreams. Ian Falloon has 40 years of experience with Ducati, and has written several books covering the Desmoquattro models. He has owned several examples of this bike, and in his role as a motorcycle journalist attended the press launches for many of the models covered in this book. Ian’s close association with the factory, and personal association with many of the engineers involved, has given him an invaluable insight into the Desmoquattros’ development.

About the Author :
Ian Falloon was born in New Zealand in 1952 and studied engineering and music at Victoria University, Wellington. After a career as a symphony orchestra oboist was brought to an end by a motorcycle accident he began writing articles about motorcycles for magazines. His first book, The Ducati Story, has run to several editions and has been published in three languages. The success of The Ducati Story led to a series of Ducati books and histories of Honda, Kawasaki, BMW, and Moto Guzzi motorcycles. He has now written many books about motorcycles, mostly historical but also restoration guides. With an interest and passion spanning decades he now concentrates on collecting and restoring older Italian motorcycles, particularly Ducati, MV Agusta, Laverda, and Moto Guzzi. Ian Falloon lives in Australia, and is ably supported in his projects by his wife Miriam and sons Ben and Tim.

Review :
Having owned two Ducatis, I thought I knew all I needed to when I started looking to buy another Monster. Veloce Publishing's book by Ian Falloon proved me wrong. A mine of useful information, there's far more than the usual things to check on any motorcycle (though this is all here too) ... I'd been talking about bikes with a friend who's an independent Ducati specialist - everything he told me was in the book ... if you're in the market for a Ducati, or simply a bit of a geek, this book comes thoroughly recommended.
