Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Ducati stunned the world when the struggling little Italian firm unleashed its Desmoquattro (eight-valve, desmodromic) Superbike on the racing world back in 1988. The bike found success on the worlds racetracks right from the start. Road-going versions soon carried that success to the general public, proving this design wasnt just another noisy prototype. The Superbikes (the 748, 851, 888, 916, and 996) are now Ducatis best selling machines in the United States, and the Desmoquattro engine has now found its way into the companys more pedestrian series like the Monster roadster and ST4s sport-tourer.

4 out of 5 stars ducati desmoquattro superbikes   August 4, 2005
desmoduck (san Francisco)
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.
