Packed with good advice on choosing the right Ducati bevel twin, with a comprehensive inspection guide and in-depth analysis of strengths and weaknesses, this book covers desirable upgrades, modifications to avoid, valuation and predicting which models will become collectable (if they aren’t already).

Illustrated throughout with photos of key areas to check and foibles to be aware of, and featuring details ranging from the Ducati community, to whether a Ducati bevel twin will suit you and your lifestyle, this is the complete guide to choosing, assessing, and buying the Ducati bevel twin of your dreams.

Ducati Bevel Twins is written by Ian Falloon, an expert who enjoyed a close association with the factory and the engineers during the period these bikes were manufactured, providing him with an invaluable insight into their development. He has been involved with Ducati motorcycles, and bevel twins in particular, for nearly 40 years and, in addition to writing several books covering these models, he is an avid restorer with over 20 bevel twin restorations to his credit.

Industry Reviews

'Offers that expert second opinion that we often need when faced with a prospective purchase. Ian has owned every incarnation of Bevel Twin over the last 40 years and has restored more than 30, this at the very least is enough to consider him an expert however his knowledge goes way deeper than that ... goes through the standard checks we should always cover when buying bikes and is a great reminder to take a step back and not let emotions get the better of us. For a small 'pocket book' it also contains a lot of detail around he models and the finer points to consider with each.' Desmophiles
