After the bestsellers of Alan Cathcart, in which he talks about his experiences as the only journalist in the world who has tested almost all Ducati Desmo V -Twin Worldsbk machines from the period 1988 – 2018 on the circuit, the famous British racing journalist now focuses his attention on LA Ducatina – The 748 Supersport.
Ducati 748 On Road and Track tells the complete story of the creation of this junior version of the legendary Desmoquattro 916 Superbike, designed by Massimo Tamburini. What makes this part unique is the fact that in addition to the tests of the sportiest road models for customers, such as the 748SP and the 748R, there are also tests of the various versions of the motorcycle that participated in the World Supersport Championship between 1996 and 2003 .
Author Alan Cathcart not only tells about the technical structure of this first generation Ducati Supersport, but also tells us how the different versions used by rival teams were to ride.
The new book contains test drives on the machines of Fabrizio Pirovano, Stéphane Chambon, Paolo Casoli and Piergiororgio Bontempi – a unique privilege that makes the book indispensable for all Ducati lovers. It also contains many exclusive photos that show these successful Ducati V-twin racers without Kuip, so that RaceFans can admire the technical secrets of these beautiful engines.
