Critics Review
Falloon and published by Veloce whose quality motorcycle list continues to grow at a very respectable pace.By the end of the book you really do feel that you know every nut and bolt of these models as well as everything there is to know about them.’ This will please the owner as will the excellent technical information at the rear. Priced at £29.99, like the others, it easily justifies its price by being a quality publication in both look and feel, as well as content.- Ian Kerr for inter-bike.co.uk, 2008; Author Falloon, in his intro, describes Guzzis as being just as beautiful at rest as they are on the move. It’s a great read if you’re really into Guzzis. Rating: 5 stars lotsa Guzzi, well done.- Motorcycle Trader, November 2007; Covering all the Tonti framed Sports bikes… copies of the 2007 first edition are currently being sold on eBay for $250! Written by Australian author Ian Falloon, and featuring a lot of Australian sourced photos. This book is highly recommended.- Guzzi Parlance.
