The Ducati Story (6th Edition)

The Ducati Story is brought right up to date in this new edition of Ian Falloon's authoritative book, covering the complete history of the marque. Initially under government control, Ducati went through several decades of ups and downs, characterised by dubious managerial decisions.
Held together by the great engineer Fabio Taglioni, the father of desmodromic valve gear, Ducati produced some of the finest motorcycles of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s: the Marianna, desmo 125 single, Mach 1, 750 and Pantah.

Taglioni also instigated Ducati's return to racing, and victory in the 1972 Imola 200 was the turning point. Mike Hailwood rode the 900 Ducati to victory in the 1978 Isle of Man Formula One race and Tony Rutter took four World TT2 Championships.

Cagiva purchased Ducati in 1985, bringing a new engineer, Massimo Bordi, and new designs - most famously the Desmoquattro. In various guises this model dominated the World Superbike Championship during the 1990s, particularly in the hands of Carl Fogarty.
Landmark models included the 916 and Monster, and, with the sale of Ducati to the Texas Pacific Group in 1996, the company continued to grow. The racing programme expanded to MotoGP and new model families were introduced.

With control taken by the Italian company InvestIndustrial in 2006, Ducati embarked on the next era of development, Casey Stoner winning the MotoGP World Championship in 2007.
Now under the Audi umbrella Ducati continues to thrive. This new edition includes a brand new chapter featuring all the models from 2012 up to 2018.

Le mythe Ducati

Il y a plus de 60 ans, une modeste entreprise du nom de Ducati a commencé à fabriquer à Bologne, en Italie, des petites motos de 50cm3 simples et bon marché. Depuis, Ducati est devenue l'une des marques les plus célèbres du monde de la moto, synonyme d'excellence technique et de hautes performances.
Les passionnés admirent sa gamme de machines aussi belles que techniquement évoluées, offrant des performances sans égales et un style inimitable.

Ian Falloon, spécialiste de la marque, s'associe ici au fameux photographe James Mann pour proposer un ouvrage richement illustré retraçant six décennies de Ducati. Depuis les monocylindres des années 1950-1960 jusqu'aux machines hypersportives du début du XXIe siècle, en passant par les bicylindres desmodromiques des années 1970-1980, Le Mythe Ducati honore une marque qui ne s'est jamais endormie sur ses lauriers.

Le style et la technologie de Ducati, en perpétuelle évolution, lui ont permis de signer des classiques intemporels comme la Mach 1, la 750 SS et la Mike Hailwood Replica, ainsi que des machines actuelles d'avant-garde telles la Panigale Superbike, le trail haut de gamme Multistrada et la spectaculaire Diavel. Alors que l'avenir reste ouvert aux futurs succès de Ducati, Le Mythe Ducati rend hommage à soixante ans de maîtrise magistrale de technique motocycliste.

Ducati - La Rossa delle due ruote (Edizione aggiornata)

Ducati was founded in 1926 to produce electronic components and did not become a motorcycle manufacturer until after the Second World War, when it was placed under state control almost by chance. But today, it is a marque known throughout the world and lives as much in the marketplace as it does in the hearts of enthusiasts as the icon of the 'made in Italy' motorcycle.

The story of the company - famous for its refined desmodronic valve gear - is peppered with legendary models, extraordinary sporting successes and great champions, but also by financial crises and different owners. But nothing has been able to dim the fascination, vocation for excellence and the racing success of the Borgo Panigale company.

This is a book that tells both the sporting and industrial story of the company, a volume that gives an overall view - bulging with information and pictures - of the Ducati branded products. A rich and conclusive catalogue through which parade the entire production of the company, model-by-model. Updated edition (2016).
