Background history includes coverage of the 1986 prototype four-valve racer of 1986 and the 851 and 888 models, and continues with the production 916, 996 and 748 up to the 2001 model year. Full production figures of the 916 range are published for the first time, as is detailed coverage of the newly-released S4 Monster. Haynes Great Bike Series.

[Adam · Rating 3 out of 5]

An excellent book that details the development and history of the Ducati 916, and the bikes built from it. Goes into depth about how the bike was built, it's specifications and how they evolved, and the many different lineups. A strong section on how it performed competitively.

The one thing I wish the bike expanded on was the differences in the real world between the models (916/996/998/748) and which one would be the most suitable for different types of riders.
