3 out of 5 stars LAAAAMMMEEEEE!   September 13, 2008
J. Unangst (in the now)
Just plain silly. Almost a sales pitch for the Mh900e. Very little good info. But it's somewhat full of Ducati pics...so, not all bad.


4 out of 5 stars Lost in Translation   September 6, 2007
James Jarocki
This is a very nice book picturewise but the text must be losing something in translation. I found it to be wandering, rambling and not always to the point. Giulio doesn't really follow a timeline historically and detours into cars, the philosophy of motorbicycles and social subjects. It certainly distracts.


5 out of 5 stars Can I refer to it as sensuous?   March 7, 2007
Stephen Thoemmes (AZ, USA)
Looking through this book was an eye opener. The photographs, the early plans & models, the history. It's all there. It was a very real pleasure to look at all the bikes. They appear to be moving even at rest.


5 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Ducatistas   December 8, 2005

This book captures the beauty and the power of the Ducati line. An excellent history of the manufacturer, along with a prosiac but clear description of the key models and their importance. Part Art Book, part Motorcycle Mania, part Legend, just like the Bikes.
