The Ducati 860, 900 and Mille Bible: All Models 1975 to 1986
This book examines all major square-case Ducati motorcycles of the 1970s and 1980s, including the 900 Super Sport and the Mike Hailwood Replica. It is illustrated with 200 photographs and includes full appendices with technical specifications.
The bevel-drive 860 and 900 models were among the most important motorcycles of the late 1970s, offering a rare balance of power and handling. When Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro styled the 860GT in 1973, few expected it to develop into one of Ducati's most respected model families.
The square-case 860 evolved into the famous 900 Super Sport, the Darmah, and later the Mike Hailwood Replica, created to mark Hailwood's remarkable comeback victory at the Isle of Man in 1978.
The square-case engine design remained in production for more than ten years and helped Ducati survive a difficult period in the early 1980s.
This book documents every version of this important line, from the first 860 to the final Mille, supported by detailed images and technical data.
