How to Restore Ducati Bevel Twins 1971 to 1986 : Your Illustrated Guide to Authenticity and Hands-On Restoration

Now up to 40 years old, Ducati's 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 wasn't 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.
