Ducati 999: Birth of a Legend
Our Price: $47.95
How do you replace an icon? For Ducati, the Itialian motorcycle
manufacturer worshiped by racers and riders all over the world, the answer
was to start from scratch.
Ducati also broke with tradition by allowing two of the world's top
motorcycling writers, Alan Cathcart and Marc Cook, to document the birth of
the 999 - from the earliest design ideas through final production.
This book goes beyond superficial road tests to
explain the unique way in which all new Ducati motorcycles are designed,
developed and manufactured. In-depth interviews with Terblanche and each
of the key Ducati project leaders describe the extraordinarily
sophisticated and complex process of bringing out a new model. Previously,
unpublished design renderings and CAD drawings reveal styling directions
and technologies that were explored but not adopted. The book also
feathers hundreds of photographs that show everything from the off-limits
prototype development areas to the 999 assembly line. Think of this as the
ultimate factory tour.
