From its beginnings after World War II, the history of Ducati motorcycles is charted through its increasingly sophisticated racing machines, and the victories that it claimed. From Hailwood to Fogarty, Ducati has gained a place at the very top of the motorcycle hall of fame. This well-researched fact-filled book features full-color photographs throughout, and includes individual models, teams, and riders that helped create the company's legendary status in the racing world.
