Independent Reviews

Having owned two Ducatis, I thought I knew all I needed to when I started looking to buy another Monster. Veloce Publishing's book by Ian Falloon proved me wrong. A mine of useful information, there's far more than the usual things to check on any motorcycle (though this is all here too) … I'd been talking about bikes with a friend who's an independent Ducati specialist – everything he told me was in the book … if you're in the market for a Ducati, or simply a bit of a geek, this book comes thoroughly recommended.
