For Ducati, creating a replacement for the controversial 999 meant that the 1098 was nothing less than a make-or-break motorcycle.

Author Marc Cook goes behind the scenes at Ducati for exclusive interviews with the 1098's designers and engineers. Each tells his own story of the trials, tools, and technology used to create this revolutionary motorcycle as it evolved from the earliest design sketches to prototypes and test models. This evolution is revealed through hundreds of photographs that chronicle the bike's development through final manufacturing.
