 For Engineers Only!! Very Technical Book
I'll start this by saying I am a die-hard Ducati fan. I've ridden the legendary 916 and have a pretty diverse riding background--albeit mostly sportbikes. This is an extremely technical book--fantastic pictures, but the written portion is equal to a captured discussion with the bikes technical designers. No comments about ride feel, acceleration, all statistics are embedded in the text. If you want to know the evolution of the diameter of the sub-frame through each model year, this is your book.
All in all--a good book with loads of detail--just think you need to be a gear-head or true mechanic to appreciate the development, design, and structure of the desmo engines.

Informative, and even more so to US readers, who are not really getting the true Ducati Exotica available,albeit in very small numbers, to World Ducatisti.At least through this book, some of the not so available info on the 916 family bikes is explained. What could be improved? more info on the 998 . All in all, still a great reference book for Desmoquattro fans.
