Over the next 20 years, the single was developed into myriad different types, in capacities up to 436cc, and was the first production engine to utilise desmodromic valves. Incorporating features that continue to this day, the overhead camshaft single would become one of the most important designs in Ducati history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Years of research have resulted in \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Ducati Overhead Camshaft Singles\u003c\/i\u003e - the first book to document in detail all the types of Ducati overhead valve singles, making this book an invaluable resource to the collector, restorer, and enthusiasts of these magnificent motorcycles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Author Ian Falloon is one of the world's leading motorcycle historians.
