by Alan Cathcart

Whenever a book is published the frustrated author is left with a pile of material for which there was no room or that was uneconomical to reproduce or was incicental to the main story. Usually that material goes back into a file and is forgotten. But in the case of Ducati it was felt that there was enough enthusiastic interest, maybe obsession, with the marque to put together a second volume to follow Cathcart's original book, DUCATI MOTORCYCLES, which would include a host of factory prototypes, racers and specials which for various reasons could not be included the first time around. The story of prototypes never put into production, like the 1257cc pushrod ohv V4 of 1962; works racers like the 3 cylinder 350cc GP bike, some of which slipped through the security net into private hands; plus some unusual privately-built specials.
