DVD Reviews of Ducati - A Story of Passion
DVD Review: WORTH the Money!
Summary: 4 Stars
Fortunately I didn't base my buying decision upon the other review of this DVD. The video does a nice job hitting the highlights of Ducati's story: the history of the company including their many, many racing successes (Ducati is truly David battling Goliath(s) in the racing arena), the significant motorcycles over the years and their designers, their engine's unique valve actuation system, etc . The DVD does spend some time showing Ducati's latest motorcycles - the Hypermotard, Monsters, Multistrada, Sport Classics, Desmosedici RR, and the stunning 1098. I didn't find the amount of time devoted to these motorcycles to be excessive though. If anything I would have liked more coverage of the ultra-exotic Desmosedici RR and the 1098! The DVD doesn't thoroughly delve into everything Ducati, it's only a 59 minute run time video!
So why only 4 or out of 5 stars then? First of all, some clips of the various motorcycles being put through their paces are shown more than once. The clips aren't very long so it's not that bothersome but one would think they had enough content at their disposal so that video would only need to be shown once, especially given how short this DVD is. Secondly, the host Alain de Cadenet while coming across as very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Ducati, is a little quirky but nevertheless entertaining. Finally, the interviews of the various Italian Ducati personnel can be difficult to understand at times but that is mostly due to their thickly accented English. But at least there's no interpreters or sub-titles! Speaking of audio, there is plenty of wonderful Ducati engine/exhaust noise without any annoying commentator babble. That alone is worth the price of this DVD. If you're a Ducatisti or an aspiring Ducatisti, you must own this DVD!
DVD Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
Its mostly a Ducati commercial and not very well done. Think of it as the entire history of Ducati condensed on to a matchbook.
Description of Ducati - A Story of Passion
Ducati: A Story Of Passion will immerse you in the past, present, and future of one of the world s most legendary motorcycle marques. This full-hour DVD features the bikes, people, and history that make Ducati motorcycles unique and desirable. In Italy, we interviewed the key figures at the factory in Bologna and the giant killers of Ducati Corse. Inside the factory, you'll learn the underlying design and technology of Italy's most famous motorcycles. And we raided the factory archives to resurrect rarely seen film, video, and historic photographs to tell the story of company beginnings, racing triumphs, and bike development from the post war Cucciolo to the current 1098, Hypermotard, and Desmosedici RR. For the first time on video, Pro Italia brings you the definitive story of Ducati motorcycles, the people and the passion they inspire. Ducati: A Story Of Passion, features exclusive interviews with: two time WSBK Champ Troy Bayliss, Ducati designer Pierre Terblanche, head of development for Ducati as well as Ducati Corse Claudio Domenicali and Ducati Museum director Livio Lodi among others. This DVD is hosted by accomplished race car driver and long time Ducati enthusiast Alain de Cadenet and was produced by Cry Havoc Productions. 59 minutes long NTSC Dolby(trademarked) Digital Stereo Region 1-9General DVDs
