Description
Ducatis classic 750, 860 900 and Mille bevel-drive twins from 1971-1986 are now amongst the most collectable bikes in the world. Although built in relatively small numbers, there are many individual model differences that can make their restoration difficult. This book gives hands-on restoration information, and serves as a definitive guide to authenticity.
Synopsis
Now up to 40 years old, Ducatis bevel-twins are finally receiving more attention from those interested in classic motorcycles. They were built in smaller numbers than other bikes of their period, and were originally considered fragile and eccentric. Today they are seen as relics of an earlier era, a time when bevel-gear driven overhead camshaft engines were in regular production. But it wasnt only the engine that was alluring. The Ducati bevel-twins set the standard for handling, braking and performance, evident through the racing success of modified production bikes at Imola, Daytona, and the Isle of Man. Even now, Ducati bevel-twins are useable motorcycles that provide a rewarding riding experience. This book will help you restore a classic bevel-twin to its original glory.
