Following a partnership between Ducati and David Bull Publishing, a new book that tells the story of the development of the most powerful and popular Ducati Superbikes from the perspective of the designers, stylists, engineers, and managers, is now available.

Every stage in the motorcycles' planning, development, and manufacturing is covered in detail, and accompanied by hundreds of photos and illustrations.

“The author, Marc Cook, and publisher, David Bull, spent days in Bologna interviewing all of the people involved in creating the motorcycles and taking photographs. In the end, this book is as much about the men and women of Ducati-their intelligence, humor, passion, and dedication to excellence-as it is the bike itself,” a company statement reads.

“This book will take you deep into the heart and soul of these revolutionary motorcycles and the remarkable company that created them.


The Ducati 1098/1198: The Superbike Redefined book ($39.95) will be available at the selected bookstores and online at Bull Publishing and Amazon. Ducati also offers Art prints and the “Ducati the story” DVD.

The 2011 Ducati Superbike range includes the 1198 and 1198 SP models. The standard 1198 adds Ducati Traction Control (DTC), the Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) and the brand new Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) fitted as standard equipment on all versions.

On the other hand, the new 1198 SP enhances the previous 'S' version by rolling out equipped with DTC, DQS, DDA, Ohlins TTX rear suspension, slipper clutch and aluminium fuel tank in addition to the usual Ohlins front suspension, forged Marchesini wheels and lightweight carbon fibre components.
